We're proud to report that Verizon has been ranked #3 on the list of 2021 Top Military Friendly Companies, which signifies our dedication to engaging military talent and their families, whether as employees, students, suppliers, consumers or like-minded people with like-minded missions.
Verizon is unique in the fact that they consistently rank in the top 10 in multiple categories year over year, which is typically not an easy feat to sustain. In order to achieve that recognition, your military program needs to evolve and adapt — and Verizon has done just that.
