Companies Hiring – PODS Hiring 116
CLEARWATER, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PODS Enterprises has experienced solid business gains, leading the company to hire an additional 116 employees for its Clearwater headquarters and other locations across the U.S. and Canada to accommodate its growth in the moving and storage industry.
“PODS is doing very well, that’s why we’re hiring 116 people,” said Lisa Goettel, Senior Vice President of PODS’ Human Resources division. “Most new hires will be stationed in our call center, earning between $35,000 and $50,000 per year.”
A monthly report from the State of Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation indicates the only sectors to see job growth are health care, education, and government. All other industries reported staffing declines, the state said*. This makes PODS something of an anomaly – bucking the trend to expand during a recession.
“Consumers are shopping around more to find the best value for their money and discovering there is an easier way to move and store their belongings,” said Thomas A. Ryan, Jr., PODS’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “Plus, PODS’ convenience and flexibility is appealing, because we bring the container right to the customer, and they can take all the time they need to load and unload. With PODS, the customer is in control, they can keep their container at their location, at one of our secure Storage Centers, or have us move it just about anywhere in the country.”
Founded in 1998, the PODS network currently provides services to 48 U.S. states and throughout Canada and Australia. PODS attributes its growth to the flexibility and value it provides consumers. To date, the company has completed more than 200,000 long-distance moves, exceeded one million deliveries and has over 137,000 PODS® containers in service.
“We welcome applicants to apply for a career with PODS,” Goettel said. “Prospective employees can go to our website at pods.com/careeropportunities.asp to learn more about career opportunities at our corporate headquarters in Florida and in cities across the U.S. and Canada.”
