it depends what you're collecting on. IIRC, the earlier collections youre doing (30 days, 60 days past due), you're going to make the least. the older the debts, the more you're going to get paid.
i know in recovery where im at (charge off accounts, 210+ days past due), the minimum starting wage is 11.55/hr, but we havent been hiring anyone for that dept for months. the bonus is also much better in recovery vs. autodial/midrange
