T-Mobile US plans to add around 1,000 new customer support jobs at a soon-to-open facility in upstate New York, a move that comes on the back of the carrier slashing thousands of back-office and technology roles.

The carrier said it plans to hire up to 1,000 new positions for a new “customer experience center” scheduled to open next year in Rochester, NY. The new jobs include account associates and “other frontline positions” that deal with customer support, account management and customer education.

T-Mobile tied the new hires to a pledge it made prior to its acquisition of Sprint, which closed in early 2020. That pledge involved opening five new customer experience centers, each creating around 1,000 new jobs, though that pledge also stated those jobs would be added by 2021.
