I seem to find myself in a similar situation where a classmate is trying to recruit me to a financial services company and I would basically be telemarketing similar offerings to you. Last time I did sales was 10+ years ago and I feel that after running the sub's I have I'd be in a similar situation as you where I'd probably have to choose between compromise and principles.
There's a relevant quote I might end up butchering: "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything."
Thanks, it's good to hear that from someone other than myself. My principles are very important to me and when people step on them I get pissed. Which is what this company has been doing to me. But the crazy part is this isn't a telemarketing job. I'm a cashier at a big retail store, won't give names I'm paranoid they google this shit. I have to do all the normal duties of a cashier on top of getting people to apply for these credit cards. All for a whopping 9 dollars an hour. I'm holding out until I can find something better because this job is taking its toll on me.
