I accepted a sales job wound up doing low wage customer service

Like most sales people I said ” sure why not. I'll take 12.50 per hour IF I can get decent commissions.” Selling internet. Cell phones, cable tv etc. BUT the location ACTUALLY is a customer service center for the companies that people come into mainly to CANCEL their service and have zero interest in being sold up for additional lines of business. On a rare good day I make seven dollars on commission if a new customer wanders in. So instead of getting paid the usual going rate of 16 to 18 for telephone customer service, the companies got people willing to do it face to face for 12.50. Lesson learned, will be quitting soon but wanted to give people a heads up to this particular corporate scam.
