It will never cease to amaze me when seeing the number of people who come on to this site and, somehow, still decide to give this place a shot. I can't speak too harshly, because I too made this mistake at one point, but for the person saying that they have a family to support, that the pay and car allowance would be a leg up, and that your experience and hard work should mean something to them....please, don't make this mistake.
This job is only suitable for a young professional looking to make some money while finding a better job. If you go into it with that mentality, that you are only there for a short time, and you can overlook being condescended and treated poorly on the daily, you could make this work for the 6 or so months you'll be around. But when thinking that your skills will keep you around, I can tell you that between myself and the other reps they let go when I was, your skills and performance ultimately don't matter. It was one thing for me, because I was in my 20s without a family, but to be let go abruptly after altering your life to fit with this job, it could be much more devastating to lose the job with a family and mortgage.
You see the number of posts, and the consistency with which they come into this site, so you have to know that something is up. Ask about it during your interview, and challenge them on their responses. If they tell you that things have changed, ask why there are posts from as recently as today citing that it hasn't. I am glad to no longer work for this "company," however at the time I was let go it was a complete shock. If you take nothing else away from reading these posts, please be conscious of the fact that you are an "At Will" employee, that they have the right to let you go at any time for any (or no) reason at all, and that they undoubtedly will let you go within 3-6 months (if you're lucky).
