After a couple months you would quit unless the money was good. Being on the phone all day everyday gets old quick. Especially if your dealing with assholes. An AA probably does more work that the person(s) they support combined.
ive worked as an AA. although it wasnt for a huge corp. i answered and direct calls for an office of about 50 people. at busiest times, there were about 15-20 calls an hour. at the same time, there was always BS stuff to type up on word, filing, and keeping the front area clean. as well as making photocopies, working the plotter, and meeting clients and getting them soda

im not saying its not a busy or unnesscary job. but its a job a high school graduate who has common sense and a bit of computer skills can do.
whereas a teacher, a position where someone is trusted by the school and parents to teach, motivate, support, and care of children, 30 of them at a time; gets paid the same amount. and a teachers job doesnt end when the bell rings at 3. its also a take home job that ends at 10-12pm.
im just bitter because the field i want to get in to doesnt get paid jack for what gets done.
