The Customer Service Representative (CSR) role at MSI is an essential on-site position focused on delivering exceptional customer service and supporting both front-end customer interactions and back-end operational tasks. This full-time, entry-level role operates primarily from Monday to Friday with additional Saturday shifts once a month, embodying MSI’s commitment to availability and responsiveness.

The CSR is responsible for engaging with customers via phone, email, and face-to-face interactions, ensuring that every touchpoint reflects MSI’s high standards of service.

The ideal candidate will have a keen eye for detail when maintaining customer records and order information, along with proficiency in computer skills, including MS Outlook, Word, and Excel. Bilingual abilities, especially in Spanish, are considered a plus.

Pay for this hourly, non-exempt position ranges from $18.75 to $21.75 per hour, with overtime paid at 1.5 times the base rate. New hires typically earn between $40,000 and $54,400 annually, influenced by experience, overtime, and bonuses. MSI also provides a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, paid time off, 401(k) plans with company matching, and educational support for employees’ dependents.
