Texas / Pharr call center to add 1,000 jobs

Convergys plans to hire 1,000 new full-time customer service representatives at its Pharr call center, nearly quadrupling the number of employees there.

The call center company, which fields customer service calls for clients including DirecTV, Macy’s and Cigna, a health insurance company, will host a job fair Tuesday for the positions. About 350 employees now work in the El Centro Mall call center at 500 N. Jackson Road.

“Our client has asked for more bodies in that call center,” said Brook Beiting, the media relations specialist for Convergys. “There hasn’t been any shut down (of other centers), this is just a ramp up.”
