These customer agents are specially trained and fully dedicated to serving the needs of customers living in select “bulk” communities — where cable, internet and / or phone services are part of the benefits provided by a community’s Homeowner’s Association (HOA).

Comcast also recently announced it will be hiring for 300 open positions throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. Job openings exist in a variety of fields including sales, customer service, call center, technical operations, supervisory roles and more.
