Sprint ‘Now Hiring’ at Orlando Contact Center

Despite the tough economic conditions that face U.S. workers, Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced that it is looking for a few good men and women on an ongoing basis to fulfill retention specialist positions at its Orlando contact center this year.

The new positions will be added to the 650 employees working at the contact center today. The new hires will be offered competitive salaries and benefits, including medical, dental, 401(k), performance bonuses, free use of the on-site fitness center and participation in the employee wireless phone program.

"We’re looking for passionate, confident and committed individuals who will provide a great customer experience for Sprint customers and resolve customer issues in one call," said Susan Jones, director of the Sprint Orlando Contact Center. "There is such a vast pool of talented and qualified working professionals here in the Orlando area. We believe they will be challenged by the rewarding positions at our call center as they provide an opportunity in which they can put to use their communication, technical and multi-tasking skills.”
