Leadership Dev Partner, Shared Services
“Simmons values collaboration where work just isn’t passed from person to person. It's a team dynamic where we lock arms, work together, and we win together. As a veteran, this has been energizing because it reminds me of the squad mentality in the military where collective success is encouraged and prioritized.”

Account Executive, Simmons Pet Foods
“I use my military training every day at Simmons. Being able to adapt, overcome, and problem solve is what helps me at Simmons. Whether you are on a mission in the desert or on a mission to sell to a customer, you have to be able to adapt, overcome, and solve problems to make the mission a success.”

Sean Kreps
“Simmons Foods fosters an environment of camaraderie, respect, and shared purpose that resonates with veterans by emphasizing teamwork, integrity, and mission-driven values. Just like in the military, Simmons Foods promotes a sense of belonging through collaborative work environments where everyone contributes to a common goal. They prioritize respect for all team members recognizing the diverse skills and experiences veterans bring to the workplace.”

Jim Reprogle
Director Technology, Shared Services
“I routinely see that with our veteran team members there is a healthy bias towards action. They exemplify the company values of “take action” and “be curious”. Frequently in military service, you don’t have all the information, resources, or the manpower you need. But there is an expectation of mission accomplishment, so you improvise, adapt, and overcome. This is one of the biggest carry-overs from military service that I can think of.”

Brandon Bruner
Garage Manager, Logistics
“Simmons Foods maintains an operational environment with a high degree of dignity and respect that puts team members first. After 22 years in the Air Force, I've learned that if you take care of your people, they will take care of the operations. The camaraderie and clearly defined vision at Simmons have provided familiarity and eased the burden of a military to civilian transition.”
