floormen

[bav]

A lotta dealers do the dual-rate thing, it seems, to kinda test the waters, open a few more options, and break up the monotony. But they all recognize they make less doing that, so unless you are intending to work your way up the corporate ladder, or just (somehow) enjoy doing a job with more responsibility and less pay, there's not much reason to be a floor.

I know at least one floor who's there because the market for dealers is glutted. He said it was much easier to get a job flooring than dealing. It apparently really can be tough for rooms to find folks with experience and ability to take a fulltime floor job.
