Veterans in retail: An REI career story
As director of operations at REI’s distribution center in Washington State, Tom Sydnor relies on many of the skills he learned in the military: leadership, accountability and self-motivation. Whether the focus is supply chain infrastructure, technology, loss prevention or management, a career in retail can offer veterans boundless opportunities. Retailers including Walmart, Amazon, The Home Depot and Sears have made ambitious commitments to hire returning veterans. And at Retail’s BIG Show in January, Disney Director of Veterans Initiatives Kevin Preston will talk about how his company has worked successfully to include veterans in its hiring strategy and how other retailers can implement similar programs.
