Insurance scam

Today, I went to an insurance company to apply for a job. It seemed legit, the email looked real and they asked me to show up in a suit. But that all changed when I called my job coach. He said that he had done some research and the first thing that came up when he googled them was the word "scam." This confirmed my fears that the company wouldn't be a good fit. I had done research earlier on the company and the reviews were absolutely horrendous. Many workers complained that the job was simply cold calling with too many hours. I expressed these concerns to the interviewer and he laughed off the negativity. He said that the reviews were from people who couldn't make the cut, but according to him, I was the right kind of  material they were looking for. My interviewer explained that I could retire within ten years if I worked hard. Apparently, the commission is very good. Never mind the fact that commission is based upon what I sell to people. I'm sure I could retire in ten years if I only get about fifty people to call back. I'm sick of these scam artists who waste my time! Thankfully, I got an interview out of it, so I got some practice. I should mention that the way the interview went down was exactly the same as my job coach described it. During our phone conversation, he described how he had an interview with an insurance company before he became a job coach where they told him how great he was for the job and how he could retire early within a few years. Anyway, I'm going to apply for smaller part time jobs. If I get some money in my pocket and some time I can continue to look for a good job and pay off my school bills. Maybe even save up for a PS4!!
