I lasted three weeks at a similar type of job. It was advertised as advertising/PR - "management training." The advertising was going door to door selling coupon books. I was a little leery of doing door to door sales but the guy who hired me assured me that it was only for the first couple weeks, just so I could get a feel for what the salespeople did. I wasn't even there three full weeks, since I was working my other job on tuesdays and thursdays for the first couple weeks. The hours were from 9am-7:30pm or so, Monday-Saturday (I claimed I had other commitments that prevented my working the first few Saturdays) One day I was talking to a guy there and found out he'd been doing the door to door thing for two years, and that everyone, even managers, was expected to be out in the field! No thank you. I went in the next day just long enough to tell my manager I quit.
