COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Averitt has been honored with multiple 2025 Military Friendly® awards for the seventh consecutive year by Viqtory, a veteran-owned organization supporting military service members in their transitions to civilian careers. Averitt received distinctions as a Military Friendly® Employer Gold Rank and Military Friendly® Spouse Employer.
The Military Friendly® program, widely considered a standard for identifying companies dedicated to creating positive workplaces for military talent, evaluates employers based on criteria such as Recruiting & Sourcing, Policies & Compliance, Support & Retention, Culture & Commitment, Opportunity & Advancement, and Hiring & Onboarding. This year’s survey assessed over 1,000 companies, and Averitt’s performance across these areas has placed it among the top employers in its division.
“Averitt is grateful for the service and dedication of veterans and military spouses, and we’re committed to being a place they can call home,” said Gary Sasser, Averitt chairman and chief executive officer, who served in the Marine Corps Reserves. “Our team is stronger because of the unique skills and perspectives veterans bring, and we’re dedicated to supporting their success.”
This recognition reflects Averitt's sustained commitment to providing meaningful career opportunities for service members and their families as they transition to civilian life. Approximately 15% of the company’s workforce is made up of military veterans. These veterans represent many branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, with the majority having served in the Army.
