The Treasure Valley is good for the call center industry. But is the industry good for the Valley?

This is the headset kingdom, the place where DirecTV’s 20 million U.S. customers call when they want to change or cancel their satellite TV packages.

About 1,200 employees work in the glass-fronted, 155,000-square-foot stronghold at 5800 N. Meeker Drive, west of the Hewlett-Packard campus on Chinden Boulevard. Call centers for Bodybuilding.com and Idaho Power Co. are across the street. Thousands of workers staff about 30 other call centers around the Valley, handling "inbound" customer-service calls and "outbound" sales calls for companies across the nation.
