Collins says Comcast’s hiring efforts support the company’s nationwide focus on improving the customer service, which includes:
- Hiring 5,500 new workers over the next three years and adding three new call centers, part of a $300 million investment being made this year.
- Investing in technology and training to give employees the tools they need to deliver better service.
- Simplifying billing and creating better policies for customers.
- Renovating hundreds of stores across the country and developing new technologies to let customers interact with the company at their convenience.
