Employees with DialAmerica Marketing say they got no warning the company was closing the call center.
Tuesday the center closed and today workers showed up to collect their final paychecks.
More than 150 workers lost their jobs, now many say they will have to visit the unemployment office until they find more work.
DialAmerica employees make calls selling mortgages, satellite radio and seasonal packages.
Managers for DialAmerica didn't have a comment, but we've been told the company closed other call centers across the country.
