Top 10 rankings: No. 10 for retention
Surveys show that USAA employees feel a sense of purpose and report high levels of job satisfaction because the San Antonio, Texas-based insurance company's mission is to serve military families. In 2015, as part of its commitment to military families, USAA again offered a veterans career development program called VetFIT, giving 28 former members of the armed services an opportunity to participate in a 12-week Java training course followed by a 10-week internship that has since led to jobs at USAA for all participants.
