A Message from Our CEO
“Thank you for your service to our country and for the sacrifices made by you and your families. Your dedication, resilience, and leadership are deeply appreciated.
As you consider your next career move, I encourage you to explore the opportunities available at TDS. Our company has a strong history of supporting our customers, associates, and the communities we serve. We are committed to building a workforce grounded in accountability, teamwork, integrity, and respect for one another—values that closely align with the qualities embodied by military service members.

We invite you to contact our recruiting team to find a role that matches your skills and aspirations. Once you join TDS, you may also be interested in our Patriot Associate Resource Group—a vibrant community of Veterans, active service members, first responders, and supporters who work together to foster belonging and engagement across the company.
Thank you again for considering a career with TDS. We would be honored to have you on our team.”

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.”
