They are THE driving force behind this Un-carrier revolution and have made T-Mobile the fastest-growing wireless company in America.”
T-Mobile’s Birmingham call center, which opened in 1996, hired 243 new employees in 2014, and 91more were hired already this year. But better yet, T-Mobile has plans to add more employees by the end of 2015.
