Adds 100 New Jobs to Local Economy
Greenville, SC, April 26, 1999 - MCI WorldCom today announced
that it is expanding its local presence in Greenville with the addition
of 100 jobs at its Mass Markets Call Center located in Greenville. The
Center currently employs more than 1,115 sales and customer service
representatives and will house more than 1,200 employees by the end of
the year. MCI WorldCom employs more than 1,250 people at four different
sites in South Carolina.
"MCI WorldCom has had a strong presence in the Greenville area
since 1990, and we're pleased to build on that commitment by adding
100 additional sales jobs at this facility," said Rob Meyer, the
Center's director. "MCI WorldCom is dedicated to maintaining
the highest sales and service standards for our customers and this
expansion will help us do just that."
The Greenville Center houses customer service and telemarketing
services for MCI WorldCom's Mass Markets division which provides
domestic and international telecommunications services to residential
and small business customers. The jobs the Center is seeking to fill
are a combination of part-time and full-time sales positions. MCI
WorldCom is adding these new jobs as a result of increased demand for
its portfolio of consumer and small business products, including MCI
One Savings and MCI One Savings for Small Business.
"Greenville and its strong workforce are important to MCI
WorldCom's continued success," added Meyer. "Our
employees have had close ties to this community for many years and we
are certain that our newest employees will help grow our
commitment."
