WICHITA, Kansas - May 26, 1999 - MCI WorldCom today announced
that it is expanding its local presence in Wichita with the addition of
100 jobs at its Mass Markets Call Center located in Wichita. The Center
currently employs more than 600 sales representatives, and offers both
full-time and part-time work.
"MCI WorldCom has had a strong presence in the Wichita area
since 1989 and we're pleased to build on that commitment by adding
100 additional sales jobs at this facility," said Pat Calvert, the
Center's director. "In our tenth year in Wichita, MCI WorldCom
continues to set the highest standards in sales performance, and this
