Safelite AutoGlass Named to Victory Media’s 2017 Military Friendly® Employers List
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Safelite AutoGlass®, the largest provider of vehicle glass repair and replacement services in the U.S., has proudly earned the 2017 Military Friendly® Employer designation by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs®, STEM JobsSM, and Military Spouse.
First published in 2003, Military Friendly Employers is the most comprehensive, powerful resource for veterans today. Each year, the list of Military Friendly Employers is provided to service members and their families, helping them discover the best post-military career opportunities available.
Companies and organizations earning the Military Friendly Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from Victory Media’s proprietary survey. More than 200 companies participated in the Military Friendly Employers portion of the 2017 Military Friendly Companies survey. Ratings methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Victory Media with input from the Military Friendly Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for Applicant, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees.

Safelite AutoGlass is committed to hiring military talent, knowing first-hand that recruiting veterans and military spouses is not only the “right thing to do,” but the right thing for business.
“At Safelite, we value not only what our service men and women have done, but what they have potential to do,” said Safelite Senior Vice President of People, Leadership & Development Natalie Crede. “Military veterans bring highly transferrable skills, leadership qualities and are an excellent source for the integrity, commitment and service mindset we look for in our people. Frankly, we’re honored when a military veteran applies for a position with us.”
