Don't know about Coral Gables, but since Plantation and Coral Springs are the last two holdouts for the regional communications system in Broward, you might as well just go straight to BSO (as the regional "operator") who is also hiring: Communications OperatorQuote:

But the above agencies the salary is low, however Coral Gables there's lots of overtime, someone posted a few months back that they went for orientation and was told there was plenty of overtime. Plantation is starting their Trainee I believe at $28,000, Coral Springs is $36,000-$39,000 and BSO is $32,000. After conducting some research I notice that the salaries are higher in the wealthier areas because the residents are paying higher taxes. Also you want to get with an agency where you can move up and not get stuck in the same position.Quote:
