I served 10+ years in the U.S. Army. Leaving the military was a very scary thing for me. Having a bond with so many people, the great leadership, the guidance and skills learned through amazing mentors, and most importantly, being an expert in my field. These were all things that I feared I could not find outside of the military. Spectrum hired me before I even left the service. You want to talk about security? We decided on the estimated start date, and they kept me in the loop the entire time. I would receive emails as if I were already working there. It really made me feel like a part of their team. I had a pushback on my release date from the Army, and Spectrum was totally understanding. That may not seem like a lot to some, but to me, that’s loyalty to their word. It’s very comforting to work for a company you can trust. The environment is fast paced; the up-tempo is set so that you’ll never be bored. You experience something new every day. Bottom line: my transition was seamless. The leadership, comradery, mentorship, training, and day-to-day operations are at a level where I feel extremely effective. I’m happy where I work, and I love the people I work with.” -- SSG – U.S. Army/82nd ABN DIV “
