    The organization truly cares about the people who work here.

    I have been with the USO for 4 years and have consistently been able to grow in my knowledge and position.

    It is a fun place to work and my work/life balance is manageable.

    The way the organization has handled COVID has been top notch - I never felt fearful that I would lose my job or be put in a situation where I did not feel safe.

    The benefits are great - PTO and 401k matching are top level.

    There is great consideration given and extended in the following areas: organizational core values for all, work-life balance, impact we can actually see (and even experience as a staff member- the feeling of making an impact is priceless), autonomy with respect to current position within the organization.

    Everyone is friendly and easy to talk to.

    I couldn't think of a better organization to work for.

    The mission alone provides a positive and meaningful purpose, where people should want to work and be a part of.

    Most of the people who work for the USO and volunteer for the USO have giving hearts and want to make a difference.

    This also makes the organization a place where people would want to work.
    The mission and opportunities to make a Difference are amazing.
