Customer Care Specialist I

REMOTE CALL CENTER CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE ASSOCIATE
*This is a remote opportunity. You must live in Wichita KS, Omaha NE, Oklahoma City OK, Baton Rouge LA, or surrounding areas.
Connections are important, and we're not talking about pairing a Bluetooth. We're talking about that remarkable connection that happens between a customer and an associate who truly "gets" their needs. It's that contagious "I wanna keep coming back" connection that we aspire to make as commonplace as hipster podcasts.
We're Cox Communications, part of the Cox family of businesses. We built our business and our brand on the notion of connections, with our customers and with our employees. We're on a quest for a full-time Call Center Customer Experience Associate - Remote who shares our passion for connectivity. This is a person who has some flexibility and is open to working a non-traditional schedule.
If you're looking for a good company and want to work from home, this could be the job for you. As part of a customer experience driven team, you will earn an hourly rate of $18. If applicable based on your assigned work schedule, you will earn an extra $1.25/hour from 6pm-10pm and/or an extra $2.25/hour from 10:01pm-6am. We have a shift bid process that you will go through before you are finished with the training program. During this time, you will work with your Onboarding Supervisor when schedules are shared for you to select. Our schedules are dependent on the needs of the business and when our customers need us. Therefore, you will see a mix of schedules that are 8-hour and/or 10-hour schedules for you to choose from.
