Alliance Data Retail Services plans to hire 130 additional employees this spring to expand its Coeur d'Alene facility. The Ohio-based company made the expansion announcement on Tuesday as part of a long-term growth plan to meet its expanding portfolio of branded credit card programs. Alliance Data's facility in Coeur d'Alene opened in June, and Director of Operations Derrek Thomas said "everything has really been firing on all cylinders." "We've got right around 220 people sitting in the facility today and we've been in a consistent hiring and training mode," Thomas told The Press Tuesday. "We really don't see that slowing down anytime soon." Coeur d'Alene Mayor Steve Widmyer said Tuesday the Alliance Data announcement is great news and exciting for the community/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here

Question: I didn't find the per-hour wage amount that Alliance Data pays. But a job is a job, right?
