Cox Communications is a family-owned company committed to creating more meaningful moments of human connection through technology. They are the largest private broadband provider in the United States.
A career with Cox Communications has been described as a “natural” fit for many Armed Forces Veterans. What is it about your culture that’s so attractive to our Vets?
At Cox, we put a lot of stock in our values. We built our business on integrity, leadership and community. It’s no surprise that these are some of the same values shared by the brave people who have served our country: Veterans, reservists and military spouses. That’s why we’re such a natural fit for many who’ve been a part of the United States Armed Forces. In fact, Cox has been named one of the best workplaces for military members, past and present.
What kinds of mentoring or career support mechanisms does Cox provide Veteran employees transitioning into the civilian workforce?
The vast scope of our industries and locations means there are ample opportunities for Veterans to contribute and grow, and our teams are here to help. At Cox, we provide:
• An employee resource group, Salute, dedicated to supporting our military Veterans and reservists
• Many career opportunities including ones in technology, sales, automotive tech, security and recruiting
• A diverse and inclusive environment where differences are not only accepted, but embraced
• The “Hiring Our Heroes” corporate fellowship program, a 12-week internship that gives service members insight into what a corporate job at Cox would be like while they contemplate their transition out of the military.
Our Veterans come to employers with unique skill sets that are readily transferable. What characteristics do you find make them such valuable assets to your organization?
Many Veterans find their next career journey at Cox. Veterans’ skills are well suited for work across our businesses, which is why we work with more than 25 military bases and a dozen Veteran and military spouse groups, such as Army Community Service, Navy Fleet and Family and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
In closing, what message would you like to share with our Veterans and active duty military members? Cox’s core values and culture embrace the values that Veterans live by in the military: integrity, loyalty, teamwork and service over self. With numerous Veterans in our leadership ranks, Cox deeply appreciates the impact they have and the experience they share with others to make all of our teams stronger and more resilient.
