Online furniture giant Wayfair opened a new call center Thursday in a historic mill building in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
As part of the Economic Development Incentive Program with the state, Wayfair will receive more than $31 million in tax credits over the next decade.
As part of the deal, the company says it will create 3000 jobs in Boston and 300 in Pittsfield.
The Berkshires has a shortage of trained workers, but CEO Niraj Shah, who grew up in Pittsfield, said when hiring, Wayfair cares more about "cultural traits" than specific job skills.
"One of the things that I think will make Wayfair a great member of the community is that we tend to look for really talented, ambitious, collaborative, friendly people," Shah said.

Didn’t the sanctimonious liberals tell us to shun Wayfair, since they had the audacity to get a government contract to provide furniture to the illegal alien detention centers???
Great news. Pittsfield is in a beautiful, but a depressed area.
Thats just great.
“Where is my stuff?”
“ Let me look...my mother baked bread on a stone...”

” . . .we tend to look for really talented, ambitious, collaborative, friendly people,” Shah said.”

>>Shows up for work and can pass a drug test.
People who will work for close to minimum wage than can pass a drug test will be few and far between in Pittsfield.
Boy these liberals just love capitalism don’t they
Good, another company that won’t use Indian call centers. Can’t understand a freaking word ‘Joe’ from Mumbai says and I usually end up wanting to throw my phone in anger.
Miss the old land line telephones where you can slam down the handset in anger...
So more Indian call center scammers saying your computer is infected, your Social Security Number will be deactivated, and so on... as less and less American companies use them...
