“最佳雇主”求职亲历

    职务：高级劳动力规划分析师和诉讼与赔偿顾问

    任职公司：联合服务汽车协会

    唐纳德与塞西莉亚•巴特勒在德州科珀斯克里斯蒂的一次跑步比赛中相识。两人都是劲头十足的选手。唐纳德是美国海军的一名现役军官，塞西莉亚则在美国联合服务汽车协会（USAA）工作。2006年，海军少校唐纳德退役后便加入了预备役部队，并在美国联合服务汽车协会从事劳动力市场分析工作。

    而在这家银行工作五年之后，海军通知他必须前往阿富汗服役。他说，上前线是一个巨大的未知数，但联合服务汽车协会仍然保证会保留他的职位，直到他从前线归来。

    “我跟许多人都这么说，在前线服役期间，美国联合服务汽车协会对我的支持甚至多于海军。”当时，他的上司们第一时间关切他上前线的事情。他出发之前，上司们问他是否需要时间与家人团聚，还帮他整理好了财产。“我当时的第一个念头是：‘他们很清楚的知道在军队是什么情况。这一点让我非常感动。我的角色过渡也随之变得非常简单。’”

    唐纳德离开期间，公司对塞西莉亚也提供了支持。联合服务汽车协会为在前线服役的军人配偶成立了一个支持团队。塞西莉亚说：“如果我有任何担忧，都可以与其他人讨论。”

    一年后，唐纳德从前线返回。当时，联合服务汽车协会再次为他提供了便利。公司甚至为这对夫妇举办了一个“欢迎回家”的派对。

    塞西莉亚说，到目前为止，联合服务汽车协会让她达到了一直渴望的生活质量。与唐纳德相识多年以来，她一直保持着跑步的习惯。她曾参加过多次马拉松比赛，包括著名的波士顿马拉松。她说：“我在午饭时间也会挤出时间跑步。在联合服务汽车协会为我们提供的好处中，这只是一个很小的例子。”（财富中文网）

    Title: Senior Workforce Planning Analyst and Litigation and Claims Advisor

    Company: USAA

    Donald and Cecilia Butler met at a race in Corpus Christie, Texas. Both are avid runners. Don was an active-duty officer in the Navy and Cecilia worked for the USAA. So when Don left the Navy in 2006 as a lieutenant commander, he joined the reserves and took a job working for the USAA doing labor market analytics.

    Five years after he started working for the bank, the Navy informed him that he would have to be deployed to Afghanistan. Going into combat was a big unknown, he says, but USAA had assured him that his job would be waiting for him when he came home.

    "I say this to a lot of people, but the USAA was more supportive of my deployment than the Navy was." His managers spoke with him immediately, asked if he needed time off to spend time with his family before leaving to serve, and helped him square away his finances while he would be gone. "The first thing I thought to myself is, 'They get it, they understand what it's like to be in the military. That impressed me. And the transition was just as easy as it could be.'"

    The company also supported Cecilia while Don was gone. The USAA offers support groups for military spouses at home while their partners are deployed. "If there were any concerns that I had, I could discuss them," Cecelia says.

    When Don returned a year later, the USAA eased his transition. The company even threw a "welcome home" party for the couple.

    To this day, Cecilia says, the USAA helps her realize the quality of life she desires. She hasn't quit running in the years since she met Don. She has run several marathons, including the prestigious race in Boston. "I squeeze in my running on the lunch break," she says, "and that's just a small example of the things that USAA offers."
