Direct sales/multi level marketing

I am just wondering if anyone else has been to any 'job interviews' where you are told that you will be doing sales or retail based work but when you show up it is not exactly as it would seem.

Quite often the job offers different roles but when you get there you have your 'first interview' the interview in which you are told about the great opportunity that you have and the fact that you can work your way up and become manager one day, earning a seemingly endless salary.

There are often apparently three different stages to the interview. Stage two being shadowing a member of the business for a while and stage three signing an independent sales contract.

I was just wondering if anyone has been to one of these places and wouldn't mind speaking to me about it?

Thanks and I look forward to hearing if other people have had the same experiences.

Hi, just doing some research into them and it'll better my insight greatly if anyone else has been and wouldn't mind telling me about their experiences. I have been to a few interviews like this and developed some curiosity into them.

I would like to speak to a few people to better my understanding of these companies for future reference and to gather more factual information which I can use as research.
