Absolutely. I applied for months out of college and FINALLY got a response. It was a sales marketing yadda yadda, this, that, and the other thing. Whatever. I needed anything. On my first day it became apparent that it was indeed door to door sales to businesses. So not private homes, thankfully. The people who were good at the job were some of the scummiest people I've ever met. The job basically taught you to prey on the elderly and foreign people who did not know what we were doing. It was for fixed rate electricity. It's not necessarily a scam, but the way we did the job was scammy. Bonus was the managers, two of them, were a young husband and wife. Imagine crypto-bro jerkoffs but RIGHT before that nonsense took off. The single sale I ever made was to a very nice elderly Korean man whose daughter immediately canceled the sale. I lasted two weeks and one day. It was fucking miserable. OH, and it was 100% commission and you used your own car to drive around. I lost money working for them. And then covid hit. There's no way they survived that.
