“Bolton & Menk has been incredibly supportive of my military service as a U.S. Army Reserve officer. They understand the unique demands of balancing civilian work with military commitments and have consistently accommodated my training schedules and deployments. The company’s flexible policies and understanding leadership have made it possible for me to serve my country while pursuing a fulfilling career.”

Master Sergeant E7– United States Air Force
“Bolton & Menk provides opportunity to connect with military and veteran co-workers, and advocate for military benefits at the company. Whether still serving or separated, we all share the military experience and can connect on a different level outside civilian life. I am still doing both jobs, but anyone transitioning out of the military into civilian life should focus on expanding their knowledge of applicable fields, either through formal education or certification processes. Professional courses and certificates show employers that you’ve taken serious steps to bridge the gap between military and civilian life.”
Joel F. Alvardo, PLS
Survey Manager
Specialist E4 – United States Army Reserve
“Bolton & Menk fosters a strong and welcoming culture for our military personnel. They go above and beyond to recognize and honor the sacrifices made by those who have served, creating an environment where veterans feel valued and appreciated. While my own transition was not the same as those who served full-time in the military, I have seen firsthand how my peers with military backgrounds are welcomed, supported, and respected within the company. Their experiences are not only acknowledged but truly valued. Bolton & Menk understands the unique strengths that military personnel bring to the workplace. Even if they are new to a specific role or profession, they bring a high level of discipline, motivation, leadership, and teamwork that strengthens our organization and contributes to its continued growth.”
