Wages vary by employer and the representative's level of responsibility.
Many customer service representatives work for large companies that offer benefits to their full-time employees. Typical benefits include health insurance and a retirement plan. They also usually receive paid vacations and sick leave. Some customer service representatives may receive bonuses for increased sales or for good customer service. Those who work part time may not receive benefits, but may receive bonuses for quality work.
