CSX named 'military-friendly' employer

For the eighth consecutive year, CSX has been recognized as a "military-friendly" employer by Victory Media, the publisher of G.I. Jobs, STEM Jobs and Military Spouse magazines.

The recognition confirms the company's culture and longstanding commitment to hiring veterans, National Guard and Reservists, CSX officials said in a press release.

"Military veterans are a vital part CSX's success, contributing the critical qualities of ensuring safety and customer focus while delivering compelling results," said Diana Sorfleet, vice president, chief human resources and chief diversity officer at CSX. "We are incredibly proud that nearly one in five CSX employees has defended and protected our nation, and CSX is committed to providing veterans with meaningful work and the resources to realize their career goals."
