I entered as a collector for several years. Then I became a training manager in the new
collection department. After that I advanced into a department manager. I always went
above my 6K goal and averaged a $1000-$2000 Bonus each month. I did step down due
the the fact the bonus structure as a manager was much less so I became a collector once
again.
