Military & Veterans

At Altria, we appreciate and honor the men and women of the Armed Forces and their family members who have stood beside them. We are proud to support many employees who have served our country.
VIQTORY Logo

Altria was recognized by VIQTORY as a 2021 Military Friendly® Employer. 

We are leaders in an evolving industry, and are working to shape its future. With adult smoker demand for non-combustible alternatives, innovation and an appropriate regulatory framework, we have the opportunity to make more progress on harm reduction in the next 10 years than we have in the past 50 years.

In fact, our future success depends on it. To do this requires proven leadership, a commitment to the team, tireless dedication and unyielding integrity – just the kind of qualities that can come from military experience.

Learn more about the specifically designed programs that ensure our transitioning military and veteran employees are set up for success at Altria.
