We are proud to announce Comcast NBCUniversal has been recognized as the nation’s No. 1 telecommunications company and No. 3 overall employer in a “Best for Vets” ranking by Military Times, the premier news source for service members and their families.

In its 13th year, Military Times’ “Best for Vets: Employers” list is an annual ranking of the nation's top companies and organizations that prioritize hiring, retaining, and supporting current and former service members, military spouses, and military caregivers. This is the seventh consecutive year Comcast NBCUniversal has been recognized by Military Times on this list.

“We are honored that Military Times has recognized our long-standing commitment to the military community,” said Brigadier General (Ret.) Carol Eggert, Senior Vice President of Military and Veteran Affairs at Comcast NBCUniversal.

At Comcast NBCUniversal, we believe service matters, and being named the top telecommunications company on this prestigious list is a testament to our continued efforts to provide an empowering and inclusive workplace for our military-connected teammates and support to military communities.
