Comcast to Hire 200 Employees in CT

Berlin-based Comcast announced Wednesday that it will be hiring more than 200 new employees in Connecticut in 2016, in addition to the more than 100 added across the state last year.

The new positions, which include customer care representatives, customer care supervisors and technicians, are part of Comcast’s multi-year effort to improve customer service and experience, the company said in a statement.

“Comcast is continuing to invest in processes, tools and, most importantly, employees to ensure that our customers have the best possible experience,” Senior Vice President for Comcast in Connecticut Michael Parker said in a statement. “We’re excited for these new hires to join our existing 1,200 Connecticut employees in our efforts to deliver great service, and we’re thrilled to be growing our workforce in the Nutmeg State.”

In the statement, Gov. Dannel Malloy said, “Connecticut has a talented, marketable workforce that can serve as a major asset for companies looking to fuel business growth.” He added, “Comcast is another example of a dynamic, growing company choosing to invest and add jobs in Connecticut. They are valued members of our business community and it is great to see the company thriving and hiring locally.”

Last year, Comcast NBCUniversal announced it was committed to hiring 10,000 reservists, veterans and their spouses or domestic partners between 2015 and 2017 to work in a variety of positions across all levels of the organization. Comcast also announced last year that it will create more than 5,500 new customer care service jobs nationwide over the next few years as part of its commitment to reinvent the customer experience.

Comcast was recently named as one of the Best Places to Work in Connecticut by the Hartford Business Journal. Comcast was also awarded a 2015 CandE Award, an honor given to companies that receive the highest ratings from a survey of job applicants.
