Well out of 100 applicants, they only hire 10. Out of those 10, only 6 make it through the 6 month training class without getting fired. Hourly pay... $22. Overtime required = Yes. Benefits start from day one, your cost $1 per month. Add $1 per month for your spouse or significant other, regardless of sex. Add in the commission you average about $6000 per month. The guy sitting next to me was making $90k a year.

Did it suck? Yes. Did I make a bunch of cash? Yes. Did I quit? Yes.

This was a major US Local Exchange Carrier. (Telephone company). It was fun for a while.

The test to get hired was insane though. It would say things like, Dog Cat Woman Child. Then you had to choose between 4 combinations of circles that related to those 4 words. Definetly makes you think.

All I had to do was answer a phone and sell people stuff after I told them why their bill was so high. That is why I quit. It was not ethical.
