#1 Military Friendly Company for the third year in a row.
For the third year in a row, we were named as the #1 military friendly company for our commitment to veterans and active service members. Thanks to our dedicated military recruitment team, we have more than 10,000 V Teamers who are veterans or reservists. Recently, we featured Verizon GM and former Marine Travis Kelso, for his work helping veterans transition to civilian life in Lincoln, NE. We also shared the incredible life story of David Pope, an Air Force Veteran and Managing Director in California. You can read more about the announcement right here.
