A salute to those companies stepping up to hire vets…

Even though the economy is still trying to rebound and jobs are still in short demand, many companies have still made a huge effort to hire veterans over the past several months.  GI Jobs released their annual report of Top 100 Military Friendly Employers for 2010 and CODE thought it would important to mention a few.

The report has transportation leading the way with four out of the top 10 businesses being railroad companies. Union Pacific Railroad takes the prize for being number one on the list this year, with CSX Corporation coming in at number two, BNSF Railway following at number four, and Norfolk Southern at number seven. With so many train companies landing in the top 10, its no wonder CODE keeps singing, “I’ve been working on the railroad!”

Other companies that top the list include, USAA Financial Services and Cintas Corporation. This is not the first time Cintas has graced this top 100 list. The company has been ranked for five consecutive years! The Chief Executive Officer of Cintas, Scott Farmer, recognizes the impressive skills veterans bring to the company.  This practice stems from Scott Farmer’s father who was not only the founder of Cintas but also a lieutenant in the Marine Corps.

Thanks to all the corporations who have made an effort to hire our Nation’s strong heroes, not just because they served in war, but because the military has provided them with exceptional leadership qualities and modern day skills most needed to be successful in today’s workforce.
