AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets recently acquired assets of Rural Cellular Communications in Vermont, and as a result, AT&T is opening up almost 75 new jobs in that area. Rural Cellular Communications provided wireless communications services under the Unicel brand, and was a provider to both rural and suburban areas.
Rural Cellular Communications and AT&T have been working together for some time now, and AT&T Mobility wants a clean, smooth transition for both employees and customers. This means almost 75 new jobs in many categories, including sales and management. If you are interested in a position with AT&T, you are invited to apply online at http://www.att.jobs/.
As part of the transition, AT&T’s full portfolio of products (like the Blackberry Bold and the iPhone) will be at these formerly Unicel locations very soon. Probably mid-January will see these retail locations carrying AT&T’s wireless products and services. The rebranding may take slightly longer, to change colors, signs, and merchandise. This will most likely occur by the end of February.
Vice President of the Atlantic Region Legislative and Regulatory Affairs for AT&T Services, William Leahy, said, “When consumer demand for our products and services grows so do employment opportunities.” He added, “We are proud to be making a contribution to Vermont's economy during these difficult economic times and to be providing world class products and services to Vermont consumers.”
Vice President and General Manager of AT&T Mobility in New England, Steve Krom said, “In addition to building up our staff, enhancing and expanding our newly acquired wireless network in Vermont is our top priority. In fact, we are now planning next steps for launching our third generation (3G) high speed mobile broadband service in the state.” He added, “We look forward to welcoming former Unicel customers to the AT&T family and we're excited to offer all wireless customers in Vermont access to national calling plans with unique features like Rollover and the industry's hottest line-up of wireless products and services enjoyed by our customers across the country.”
