Omaha, Neb.-based West Corp., which has about 47 call centers around the country, has announced that it will lay-off 250 employees at its Tulsa call center by October 14.
The customer service representative positions being affected pay between $10.25 and $11.25 an hour according to David Pleiss, vice president of investor and public relations for West Corp.
West Corp. began operations in Tulsa in September 1997. The call center at 3810 S. 103rd East Ave. employs 415 people.
The news from West Corp. follows an announcement earlier this week by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma that it will eliminate 200 of its Tulsa employees within six months.
