Join Our Team as a Customer Service Representative!
Are you customer-focused, adaptable, and tech-savvy with strong multitasking skills? We’re hiring Customer Service Representatives at our Customer Service Center in Boise, offering a fast-paced, friendly environment with extensive training and growth opportunities. Enjoy a Monday–Friday schedule (no weekends!) that varies from 7:30am – 6:30pm and a robust benefits package including medical, dental and vision insurance, a health savings account option, generous retirement (which includes both a 401k employer-match and a pension plan), life insurance and much more! Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work a hybrid schedule (combination of remote and in-office days) when certain qualifications are met. Training will be held on-site in Boise, Idaho.

 

Customer Service Representatives deliver exceptional service in a team-oriented environment. They handle a high volume of customer calls and perform a variety of confidential, customer-focused tasks, including setting up accounts, processing movement requests, resolving inquiries, arranging collections, responding to outages, and maintaining account records.

 

IMPORTANT DATES: We have an established schedule for interviews and training to ensure we can dedicate the necessary resources to this important process. Unfortunately, there is not flexibility, therefore we want applicants to be aware and understand the expectations when applying for the position.

• The successful candidates will need to be in training from December 7th through January 29th, February 9th and 11th, March 5th, and March 8th through April 29th.

 

As indicated above, these dates are mandatory and necessary for proper training and development. Because this training is critical to success in the position, we cannot consider candidates who are unavailable on these dates.
