Yes ... several down in Utah County. A big place called TeleperformanceUSA near Salt Lake at 5600 West and 2100 South. American Express about 4500 South and I-215 runs one.

There are tons! I've heard that we have so many because people from Utah have a standard American accent. I'm pretty sure every teen that has grown up in SLC has worked at a call center. Some off the top of my head are: Convergys, Teleperformance, Verizon Wireless, Discover Card, Marriott, and 1-800-CONTACTS. I'm sure there's more but those are the main ones people work at. I worked at the Marriott call center for 2 years! It was after that I vowed NEVER to work in a call center again!

Haha I worked at a call center in high school...it was called Matrix Marketing now called Convergys in Roy. I was surrounded by lazy teens and burned out old people. I did love selling the Monkey's Greatest Hits and signing people up for BMG video clubs.

So tell me how the pay rate is for telemarketing in UT? I am actually an assistant manager for luxury apartment homes here in Fl. and am concerned of the pay cut form Fl. to UT.

While I was doing my job search I thought it would be a good idea to work for a call center doing surveys. It was the most hellacious two weeks of my life (work wise). In Logan, the call centers pay $7 - $10 per hour depending on experience.

I know there is one in Sugar House area of SLC, that does inbound calls for two large non-profit organizations.
