Customer Service Work in Tucson
Tucson's customer service jobs cluster in a few places. Citi's Tucson operation brings new hires to 9060 S. Rita Road on the southeast side, near I-10, for paid on-site training before eligible reps move into its Home Office Program. Afni's contact center sits at 7810 E. Escalante Road on the east side and hires for customer service, sales, insurance and bilingual Spanish lines, all onsite. The third cluster is health care: Tucson Medical Center in midtown and the Carondelet clinics hire patient access, patient service and billing reps who spend the day on phones, scheduling and insurance questions.
