Orion Offices Sign the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Statement of Support

Orion's Raleigh office signed the ESGR Statement of Support back in 2014, and challenged the other four offices to do the same this year. On November 9th, the Raleigh office held a Reaffirmation Signing, and the offices in Virginia Beach, Cincinnati, San Diego and Austin each proudly signed the statement.

ESGR is a Department of Defense program that was established in 1972 to promote cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their civilian employers and to assist in the resolution of conflicts arising from an employee's military commitment. ESGR is supported by a network of more than 4,500 volunteers in 54 committees located across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam-CNMI, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

ESGR has served our country for more than 40 years, fostering a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States.

We are honored and proud to support an amazing program that develops and promotes supportive work environments for Service members in the Reserve Components through outreach, recognition, and educational opportunities.

According to Your Peers

"My experience with Orion was beyond amazing! My recruiting checked in with me and made sure my experience was positive. I attended a hiring conference in San Diego and received an offer after my first, and only, hiring conference within two weeks. Orion exceeded my most optimistic expectations. Even if I had somehow gotten these interviews on my own, I would not have been able to get the results that I got. There's no way that I could have had even similar results without their extraordinary guidance and help. " - Trenton Otts, Equipment Technician

"I want to thank everyone at Orion who helped me out. The companies Orion works with are top notch, and I encourage new candidates to allow the Orion Team to help in your transition. The companies Orion works with are top notch." - Alex Cisneros, System Specialist

"Thank you to the Orion Team for the service that you provided me, and I will always send more your way! The interview process was seamless.
