Guild Mortgage named 2025 Military Friendly Employer

San Diego – November 14, 2024 – For the second consecutive year, Guild Mortgage, a leading national independent mortgage lender, has been awarded the 2025 Military Friendly® Employer designation for policies and programs in support of Veterans and their families.

Guild was nominated for this designation by its Military Veteran Employee Resource Group (ERG), The Seventh Branch, whose mission is to ensure that America’s Service Members and their families always have a place to call home. Guild was selected following a review of public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey that included more than twelve hundred companies.

“We are committed to supporting our Veterans and active-duty Service Members, not only through our mortgage services but also by fostering a workplace that values their unique skills and experiences,” said Terry Schmidt, CEO, Guild Mortgage. “This recognition reflects our ongoing dedication to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for those who have served, those who are still serving and the family members who support them.”

The Seventh Branch has successfully advocated for paid Military-related time off for Guild employees, Veterans Day to be recognized as a paid holiday and Military designations to be officially incorporated into Guild company email signature lines. In addition, two ERG members recently received national honors from Military Friendly—2024 Veteran Champion of the Year in Corporate America award and the 2024 Employee Veteran Leadership award, for the work in championing Military veterans.

Guild Mortgage will be showcased in the list of 2025 Military Friendly® Employers which will be featured in the winter issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
