Right now I work at a call center earning 12/hr plus commission. I hate the job. The money and the benefits are awesome. I don't want to quit because everything else except the job itself is amazing.
There's an opportunity that came up that might help. It's floor support (people walking around helping the people on the phones answering their questions, etc). I had a meeting yesterday with the floor support supervisor and he said the pay is a little bit higher averaging 17/hr but no commissions. The plus is unlimited OT. OT might not be as soul crushing if I'm just answering questions all day so I could use the hours to leverage what I'm losing with the commission.
Right now I am earning about $2400/mo take home after taxes, medical, dental, 401k, life insurance, etc.
My strategy is to apply and I can always go back to being a rep if the money offer is less than 17/hr. This position can also pave way to be a trainer which is my end goal career-wise.
Thoughts? Am I wasting my time considering this even?
