ASD - Answering Service for Directors is looking for professional and compassionate candidates to work as Call Specialists in our Call Center located in Media, PA.

We are a true business partner to the funeral professionals we serve.
If you are looking for a company that values and respects employees and offers careers instead of jobs, look no further!
Our employees are patient, caring individuals who are responsible for ensuring funeral home callers receive first-class customer service.
The strong teamwork environment is an added bonus to the many performance incentives and rewards available to our employees. ASD's policy of promoting from within creates excellent opportunities for our staff to grow. We reward proven talent, so it's no surprise that many of our long-standing employees began as part-time employees and have since made ASD their career.
74 of ASD team members have been with the company 5 or more years. These numbers are a reflection of ASD’s unique workplace culture, which emphasizes promoting from within, creating opportunities for staff to learn new skills and numerous performance awards. From offering exercise workstations, to organizing numerous company events, to even something as extraneous as building a Gazebo and fishpond for our staff – we strongly believe in making ASD an enjoyable and rewarding place to work.
