    Someone is always getting paid a commission, whether it's an outside broker or a sales rep at the print shop. It varies from job to job, but usually if you work with a broker, very little or none of the commission goes to the in-house people, since the broker is doing most of the legwork (communicating with merchants and crunching numbers notwithstanding). Most or all of the commission goes to the broker.

    About what capn says, I never saw the point in adding mark-up to print projects. Just estimate the time you'll spending working with brokers, printers, etc. and build that into your fee.
