A peek inside the new Oklahoma call center

The Tulsa center, which could employ more than 500 workers, is part of Gannett's money-saving consolidation of more than 60 customer-service centers into three or four locations. Looks like there are two other big ones, in Greenville, S.C., and in Louisville, Ky.

  2. Jim, as far as I know, there is no call center in Asheville. The call center was combined with Greenville, S.C., and based there. Not sure how many jobs lost...

  3. P-cola was one of the first to go to the COE-Greenville. About 12 positions were eliminated, luckily 3 employees were re-assigned.
    Business is business, but what was really harsh was the Publisher did not recognize or Thank any of those Reps for their years of service---this man has *ZERO* Class and absolutly no People-skills.

  4. As part of the COE - I feel Greenville will be closed because they are the smallest of the remaining two. Tulsa and Louisville. They just wont admit it. A few of the COE managers nit-pick about the little things. Hostile work environment in my opinion.
