PODS, a national leader in the moving and storage industry, announced plans to hire 255 customer and call center representatives at its corporate headquarters in Florida and in cities across the U.S. and Canada.

The company is bucking a difficult economic environment and experiencing steady corporate growth with its compelling and flexible moving and storage solution and plans to hire 30 to 45 new employees each month between now and May 2010.

"PODS actually grew in an industry that has been down the last couple years and we're thrilled to be in the position to add staff," said Lisa Goettel, senior vice president of PODS' Human Resources division. "We strive to offer outstanding benefits, training and growth programs to attract the best possible candidates."

"We attribute our customer appeal to the unique flexibility we offer business and residential customers. We deliver a PODS® container, the customer packs at their leisure and either keeps the container on-site, stores it at a PODS secure Storage Center, or we'll move it pretty much anywhere across the country, even to Canada." said Thomas A. Ryan, Jr., president and chief executive officer of PODS. "We attribute our growth to our incredibly high customer satisfaction. People love working here and helping customers through what can be a very stressful time in people's lives."

PODS growth is counter to most employment news, as a monthly report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cited November's national unemployment rate at 10.0 percent. The Bureau also reported Florida's unemployment rate for November to be even higher at 11.5 percent.* (Source: www.bls.gov)
