Corp pays better, requires higher quota. 3rd party has quota, less hourly.

Stay at call center man. It sucks not making commission on your sales but you probably have a decent hourly to compensate.

sounds like hell. we can have stuff on our desks, and our phones have to be on vibrate or silent but we can have them on us at any time just cant be texting while on calls.

$9.50 at a call center is pretty low compared to what I've heard about pay rates for most call center jobs.

I'm in indirect and if I worked in a busy store, I'd be making some really good money. Even as-is in a slow store, with my wife on a teacher's salary, we just finished building a very nice house and we won't be strapped for cash. It's the hours that suck. Holiday hours are going to be 9AM-8PM...and guess who gets to work 9-8 every day...

Indirect will simply depend on the company.

You complain about 9am to 8pm 🤣

How about working 5am to 9pm. Those days suck.

I would rather work indirect, less of a microscope on your while you work, and you usualy have a bit more flexiblity when it comes to scheduling and pricing of equipment. Corp is by the book black and white. I've done both and have been a bit happier at indirect even if i make slightly less than I did at corp.
