500 jobs lost at Bremerton business

BREMERTON (AP) — About 500 workers will lose their jobs following an announcement that a Bremerton call center is shutting down its operations.

The Kitsap Sun reports (http://goo.gl/zy3vhk ) that the employees of Concentrix call center were notified of the changes last week.

Spokeswoman Jyllene Miller says the company will leave the customer service facility March 28 due to business changes being made by the center's corporate client. She declined to name the client, citing a confidentiality agreement.

As the company shuts down its operations at the facility, Miller says it is adding more positions that will allow employees to work from home. She says the displaced workers will be given priority for the 100 at-home positions.

The Bremerton call center has been one of Kitsap County's largest private employers since its opening in 2001.
