SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The San Francisco Business Times, East Bay Business Times and the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal named Comcast the second "Best Places to Work" in the Bay Area. Comcast Corporation is the country's leading provider of cable, entertainment and communications products and services.

"To be recognized as one of the top 5 "Best Places to Work" by our employees is an extreme honor, because we pride ourselves in building a dynamic team and company that our employees are proud to be a part of," shared Rick Germano, Regional Senior Vice President, California. "With the hard work and dedication of our more than 5,000 employees, we've also created a company that Bay Area residents look to first for the communications products and services that connect them to what's important in their lives."

The business publications noted the good employee benefits package that includes tuition reimbursement and Comcast University training as key assets. Comcast's community involvement was also noted, especially its Comcast Cares Day -- the company-wide day of service in which more than 30,000 employees volunteer in their local communities. "I feel valued as an employee, because Comcast supports my professional development and my volunteering in the community," remarked, Tamera Lappen, Comcast employee.

Due to the hard work and dedication of our team of employees, Comcast continues to grow and enhance our products and services -- from doubling the amount of ON DEMAND programming available in the past two years to adding more than 100 hours of HD VOD programming each month and adding new Comcast Digital Voice features like the ability to check voice mail online-all at no additional charge.

Comcast continues to grow its team to meet the high demand for its products and services. Last week, Comcast announced that it will hire 400 new employees throughout the Bay Area in the next several months. The majority of available jobs are for front-line technicians and customer care representatives, with the rest crossing the broad categories of engineering and sales. "The new employees will join an already strong, customer-focused team that is bringing advanced entertainment and communications products to residents of the Bay Area, everyday," said Mr. Germano.
