How This Veteran Took Action to Pursue a Better Future

with Account Executive Steve Conroy

Account Executive Steve Conroy holds the concept of service close to his heart – much like other employees at Aramark. Having served in Iraq and Afghanistan with the Marine Corps, he now is pursuing a career in the sales field, continuing to serve with the values of honor, courage, and commitment while looking towards a future of greater work-life balance.

Account Executive Steve Conroy while in Afghanistan

Steve Conroy (he/him) knew exactly what he wanted to do after graduating high school: follow in his brother’s path and join the United States Marine Corps.

 

β€œWhen 9/11 happened, a sense of service and giving back got ingrained in me. My older brother joined the Marine Corps in 2002, and a couple of years later, I went and talked to the recruiters.”

 

In 2006, Steve entered the Marine Corps as part of 1/25, a reserve Infantry Battalion. For two years, he traveled for training with them and continued his education, working towards his associate degree. Steve was called up for his first deployment in 2008 – a seven-month combat tour in Iraq.

 

After returning home, Steve entered the police academy – a decision prompted by his commitment to serve, motivated by the nationwide opiate epidemic, and inspired by friends he had lost to addiction.

 

Not long after graduating from the police academy, Steve received his second call from the Marine Corps.

 

β€œAt that point, I still had a little under two years left in my Marine Corps obligation. There were whispers of Afghanistan, which were spooled up into fruition. I graduated the policy academy in April 2011, and not even two weeks later. I was called up to active duty. I showed up to my unit in early May, and by mid-July, we had our boots on the ground in Afghanistan.”

 

When Steve returned to the U.S., he picked up right where he left off.

β€œI went right back to working with the police, which was kind of wild, because I was only a cop for about a cup of coffee prior to leaving, and that cup was still warm on the table when I left. I had to relearn everything coming back to that environment from where I was, and then I was given a car and told to go be a crimefighter.”

 

After a decade with the police force, Steve knew it was time for a change in career. With lingering physical issues, he craved a job with less physical stress, greater stability, and more work-life balance.

 

β€œI knew it was time for a change, and I decided to do something about it. By chance, I was connected with American Corporate Partners (ACP) in the summer of 2021. When I went to ACP’s website, they asked me for two or three industries in which I was interested. They reached out me about a month later telling me that they had a mentor match for me. That was how I got to know my mentor, Steven, and how I got to know Aramark.”

 

As part of the organization’s commitment to hiring military-connected talent, Aramark began a partnership with ACP in 2020. In addition to other military recruitment initiatives, this partnership allows Aramark to further bolster veteran recruitment and help members of the greater military community find their next careers.

 

Steven, Steve’s mentor, helped him update his resume and create a marketable LinkedIn. The pair spent time throughout the week on the phone, working through resume updates and talking about professional development opportunities.

 

β€œOnce my resume was in order, I was ready to start seriously looking for a new career. I considered sales and was researching different organizations when Steven said to me, β€œHey! How about Aramark?” He told me about the fantastic onboarding process and the emphasis on training for newer salespeople. Steven spoke about the journey I could have with Aramark as well, letting me know how keen the company is on recognizing and promoting talent from within. I’m a firm believer in hard work paying off, and everything Steven said really interested me.”

 

Steven’s mentorship and advice was invaluable in Steve’s career progression.

 

β€œI really respect that he volunteered with ACP. I haven’t forgotten about all the hours he put in just to help me figure out my next step.”

 

Eventually, Steve applied to work as an Account Executive with Aramark in the Boston area. He shadowed a few members of his future team, one of whom was a former Marine who he instantly connected with. After a few more interviews, Steve received an offer right before the holidays and started with Aramark in the new year.

 

A few months into his Aramark journey, Steve has seen the relevance of his transferrable skills from the Marines and law enforcement and how much of an asset they are in the sales field.

 

β€œThere’s a lot of parallels that exist, just from the police department. You have to talk to people. In the police force, you had to use your words to navigate a situation. In sales, it’s the same way. It’s a very interpersonal – it’s a communication-heavy field. More so, I see commonalities in being able to adapt quickly. That was something I absolutely had to do in the Marines and as a police officer, and it is something I have to do daily in my role as an Account Executive.”

 

When considering his advice for other veterans looking to change careers, Steve sums it up with a simple statement: β€œDo something about it.”

 

Whether it was ACP, old friends, or the drive to see what else is out there, Steve wants others to know there are resources for those hoping to transition from one field to another, especially at Aramark.

 

β€œDust your resume off, talk to friends, and know that there are people who will help you, but know that you need to take the first step. Think about what you want to pivot towards, look at admissions deadlines, and understand hiring cycles. That’s what was explained to me, and it turned out to be true. In short, do something about it and make the jump. You don’t want to live with regrets.”

Q + A

Hear more from our conversation with Steve in the Q&A section below.

  • How have you felt supported by your leaders?

    They’ve all been positive and encouraging. Mr. Paul Murphy takes time to recognize the hustle we put in. I think he truly sees that I’m out there, seeing the KPIs and stats. They thank us for our efforts, and to me, that recognition means a lot. When I see those notes of recognition, I see that they’re paying attention to us and know that we’re not just sitting around. Paul has been super helpful, whether it’s a quick phone call or message, and I appreciate that since I’m still learning.

  • Have you had a favorite moment so far with Aramark?

    I’ve ridden motorcycles since I was 19 years old. I started with street bikes and decided to get on a Harley when I was in my mid-20s. My first sale with Aramark – a very small deal – was to a little seasonal biker bar up on the North Shore. Just getting that first agreement signed was pretty cool, just to know that I could do it on my own. It was a total confidence builder.

  • What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

    I’m looking forward to traveling again. In warm climates, scuba diving is a lot of fun. You’re literally in an environment where you’re not supposed to be, and you get so see some wild things down there. I also have three nephews, and I love hanging out with them. Skiing has gotten me through the winters the last number of years.
