Entergy Corporation Increases West Monroe, Louisiana, Workforce

05/09/2022
Entergy Corporation, an energy company engaged in electric power production, transmission and retail distribution operations, is expanding its contact center in West Monroe, Louisiana. The project is expected to create 171 new jobs.

Employees at the expanded facility will focus on service interactions with residential and business Entergy customers in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. In addition to increased staffing, the company will use enhanced training to more efficiently connect customers to a representative qualified to provide quick resolutions during day-to-day interactions as well as during weather events.

“At Entergy, our customers and communities are at the heart of everything we do, and that’s why we’re so proud to announce the expansion of our contact center in north Louisiana,” said Entergy Louisiana President and CEO Phillip May. “Oftentimes, the first experience a customer has with our company is with a representative over the phone, and we want that experience and every experience after it to be seamless and positive. We’re always looking for ways to better serve our customers and provide job opportunities for people in our communities, and this expansion is just another way we’re working to improve customer service and the quality of life in the towns and cities we call home.”

To secure the expansion, the State of Louisiana offered the company a comprehensive incentive package that includes the services of LED FastStart, the No. 1 statewide workforce development program in the nation for the past 12 years.

“Entergy’s expansion of its West Monroe customer service center demonstrates a strong commitment to communicating effectively with its 1.1 million utility customers in Louisiana,” Governor John Bel Edwards said. “With a presence in nine out of every 10 parishes in our state, Entergy plays a key role in supporting Louisiana’s emergency response and community recovery efforts after severe weather events. This announcement is good news for the state’s 2022 hurricane season preparations, and good news for the economy of Louisiana’s Northeast Region.”

Entergy Corporation is a Fortune 500 integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations in the southern United States.
