A Message from Our CEO
“Thank you for serving in our military and protecting the lives of so many around the world! All that you and your families have given is truly appreciated!
As you look for your next career opportunity, TDS just might be a great fit for you. As you learn more about us, you'll discover we have a long history of supporting our customers, associates, and the communities we serve. In order to be successful, we understand the importance of employing a work force that builds relationships, has personal accountability, is team focused, and values differences.
The characteristics of our workforce, in many ways, resemble those fully embraced by members of the military. I hope you'll agree, and consider reaching out to our recruiting team to identify the perfect fit for you.
Then, once you join TDS, you might consider joining our Patriot Associate Resource Group. This group is made up of active members of the military and those who have previously served. It also includes veterans, first responders, and civilians who have a desire to help. Organized and run independently by associates, this group actively looks for new ways to create a supportive community within our company. They also continually seek out new opportunities for involvement – in the community and at TDS. They've accomplished much in a short period of time and truly enjoy the opportunity to bring together fellow military and veteran associates.
Thank you again for considering joining the TDS team. Together, we'll go far!”

The primary goal and main effort of TDS’ Patriot group is to directly support the ethics and business goals of the company. Anecdotally, the desired end-state is to have the demographics inside the walls of TDS mirror those of the communities we serve.
As an ambassador for TDS, associate Patriots look to create and grow outreach efforts in support of military and law enforcement oriented groups (e.g., Toys for Tots, VFW, American Legion, etc.) within the local communities TDS serves. Learn more about the Patriot ARG.
Military Associate Profile - Jeff Mand
Jeff Mand was an Infantry Captain in the Wisconsin Army National Guard with a tour in Iraq from 2004-2005. His motivation to join the army was pretty simple: "My father and grandfather were both enlisted in the Army, and many of my extended family members have served in one branch or another." Today, Jeff manages TDS' Network Technical Support teams within Network Operations and works in Madison, Wis.
“TDS has been great to both me and my family, especially while I was on deployment overseas. So when they asked if I would be willing to help stand up a Veterans associate resource group to support Diversity & Inclusion efforts at the company, my response was – 'absolutely'. TDS is an excellent place to work and an associate resource group like this can only make us better.”
