Saw it on News 2, silly story really, but it must be a High Point company. Anybody have knowledge of construction expansion?

It sounds like it must be an expansion of an existing company in High Point.

Its an expansion of call center. Big whoop. Low wage crappy jobs with almost no capital investment.

Glad to see I'm not the only one pessimistic about that announcement.
Don't forget when a call center loses a contract employees lose jobs.
This won't do squat for the Lorillard (ITG) employees because their wages won't be replaced.

Yeah, call centers aren't worth doing jumping jacks over. There's a call center here in Danville, Telvista, and they always claim to be hiring...which in reality is due to their very high turnover rate.

From what I can deduce the jobs pay crap. News 2 said the company is being tight-lipped about the pay but did say there would be benefits.
I don't know about you but I think that screams crappy pay.

https://www.glassdoor.com/Hourly-Pay...Pay-E17814.htm

generally, a little under $10/hr to a little over $10/hr

looks like some paid holidays, vacation...poor health insurance.
