HIGHLAND PARK -- Novo 1, a premier provider of customer care services, has immediate job openings for more than 200 customer service advisor, team leader and quality coach positions at their Budco facility in Highland Park.

Positions are available for customer service advisors, team leaders and quality analysts," said Alicia Roach, NOVO 1 Site Director. "Pay scale ranges from $10-$15 per hour depending upon position and experience. Our company is in the midst of tremendous growth and we will groom people for leadership positions."

New hires will be provided with eight weeks of paid classroom and three weeks of on-the-job training.
