Need a job? Cox Cable hopes to fill 60 openings

Shrinking economy? Not for one major cable TV company in Orange County. Cox Communications appears to be thriving. On Saturday, it will host a job fair in hopes of filling around 60 openings, said Lana Ong, a company spokesperson.

At least 20 positions are in sales, with salary ranges between $50,000 to $70,000, she said.

Cox was named one of Orange County’s best places to work for, based on a survey of employees. Cox also offers a nice set of employee perks, according to interview Register reporter Mark Eades had last fall with Duffy Leone, vice president and general manager of Cox Communications for Orange County.

Perks include free Starbucks coffee, a jeans-and-boot allowance for technicians, trans-fat free cafeteria food, Yoga classes and free flu shots. Read more about life at Cox at “Cox one of best places to work in Orange County.”

(Interestingly, this is the second telecom company that ranked high in the OC Register’s ‘best work places’ survey and is actively hiring. Verizon Wireless, another winner, recently filled 170 jobs at its Irvine office. As always, Irvine’s Blizzard Entertainment, another winner, is always hiring.)

Cox is hosting the job fair at its Rancho Santa Margarita headquarters on Saturday. Details below:

When: Saturday, June 27, 2009
Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: Cox RSM Building, 29947 Avenida de las Banderas, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688
Go to the Administration Entrance inside, next to Security Station.

I always wonder why in the middle of a depression this company seems to be hiring constantly. Turnover must be astronomical or possibly a brutal work place. Their products are as terrible as their customer service.

Cox is the BEST place to work! My hubby has been there for 9 yrs. and if I had to work full-time I would work there too! They are very good to their employee’s and have wonderful benefits as well.

Everyone says Blizzard is always hiring, but the jobs posted on there never seem to change. There are jobs on there since last year. Or the HR people are just too slow.

Did a search for jobs at Cox in OC, only 6 posted. I guess the job fair must be mostly for sales positions.

  Job openings must not be posted on Cox’s job site. As mentioned in story, 20 are for sales, 40 are non sales.

    Unless the numbers they told you were for internal and external job listings.
    
    Here’s the search page:

Hi Lana!!!

Are these jobs available throughout Orange County, or are they centered in RSM? (My guess is south county since uber-carpy Time Warner is in northern and central county, but wanted to make sure.)

Was a LOT of people there. They updated the internal site showing all the listings last night / this AM. There were some sales spots and some in customer retention.
