"They do a great job of promoting a culture of care. My manager definitely cultivates it and encourages us to do the same. We also have some really great ways of celebrating each other. There is more flexibility here than most places for work-life balance. There are also a lot of great activities like the campout that allow us to share the VU spirit with our families. The Veterans United Foundation is hands down the thing I'm most proud to talk about, though."

Employees say:
"I genuinely feel that working at this company has made me a better person overall. It gives me opportunities and encourages volunteering in the community, the leadership and people around have inspired me to go back to school for a Bachelor's degree at 34 years old, and people take a genuine interest in how you're doing regularly. Teams are more than a group of people working together, they're a support system who wants to push each other to grow at all turns. It's hard to ask for a better place to work."

"VU gives back to our community and our veterans/clients in a VERY meaningful way. I have never heard of a company who cares about HUMANS like Veterans United does. I love this place and will represent it forever."
Employees say: "The way they constantly promote community, unity, and help everyone be the best version of themselves. Small groups, the faith team, and the way they structure company events. I have never worked anywhere that comes close to doing it as well as VU."

The housing market hit many hard in 2023, and the VA purchase lender dropped 40 spots from last year’s ranking while remaining on the list for the ninth year in a row, with a track record of looking out for employees during tough times. The company gave every employee a $250 gift card to a local gas station in the summer of 2022 when gas prices were at record highs. Employees also received a $50 gift card to give away to anyone they wanted.
