Comcast Honored with VETS Indexes 5 Star Employer Award for Fifth Consecutive Year
Apr 30, 2025
As we celebrate Military Appreciation Month this May, Comcast is proud to announce, for the fifth consecutive year, our recognition as a VETS Indexes 5 Star Employer. This award is a testament to our enduring commitment to hiring and empowering veterans, military spouses, and National Guard and Reserve members.
“Comcast has demonstrated exceptional support for veterans and the military-connected community, earning the organization one of the most prestigious awards possible in the VETS Indexes Employer Awards program,” said George Altman, President of VETS Indexes.
“Even as more organizations than ever before are recognizing the uniquely valuable skills that veterans bring as employees, the efforts of Comcast to recruit, retain, develop, and support those who served, as well as their families, stand out from the pack.”
Comcast is among the very best veteran employers, and its program can serve as a model for others.
At Comcast, our commitment to the military community began with our founder, U.S. Navy veteran Ralph Roberts. Today, we honor his legacy by creating special experiences for our military customers, hiring military-connected talent, and supporting organizations that serve veterans and their families.
In the last decade, Comcast NBCUniversal has welcomed more than 21,000 veterans, military spouses, and National Guard and Reserve members to our team. These individuals not only embody our core values but also represent a strategic investment in proven leadership and technical excellence.
“We actively seek out military talent because the skills developed in uniform—leadership under pressure, technical expertise, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to mission—are exactly what drives our success in a rapidly evolving industry,” said Mona Dexter, Comcast’s Vice President of Military and Veteran Affairs.
The perspective and experience our military-connected employees bring to Comcast NBCUniversal has proven invaluable in how we serve our customers and communities.
But what truly sets Comcast apart is our comprehensive support system for military-connected employees. We understand the unique challenges of balancing civilian careers with military service, which is why we offer several tailored benefits, including additional paid time off for military training, differential pay that bridges the gap between military pay and salary during active duty, transfer assistance for military spouse employees who need to relocate, and a dedicated Military Concierge Service to support military-connected employees and their families.
Comcast’s Veterans Network (VetNet) employee resource group further demonstrates how our connection to the military community has influenced our company culture. With more than 7,000 members, this group provides opportunities for mentorship, networking, and professional development. Our VetNet members also contribute thousands of volunteer hours each year to military-focused community initiatives, including Wreaths Across America and Operation Old Glory.

We invite service members, veterans, and military spouses to explore our career opportunities at jobs.comcast.com and nbcunicareers.com. Together, we're building on our founder's military legacy and creating a company where those who've served our country can continue to thrive in their civilian careers.
