I was called 1 hour after submitting my resume online to schedule an interview. I was a recent college grad and very eager to start working anywhere I could. The job title was "Management Training" and I figured this would be a great start. When I came in for the first interview, I was told that there was no management training until after you "proved yourself in the field" as the ex-military manager liked to put it. He claimed that the company only promoted from within so this was a way of putting in your dues. He also leads you to believe than it is common for sales reps to make between 500-1000 dollars per week soliciting door to door. This could not be any further from the truth, as I would later find out during my first week of labor. The more common practice was actually in the realm of 200 dollars per week while working from 9 am to 9 pm monday through friday, 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, and then you are "highly encouraged to set an example" and work Sundays as well.
Regardless, you are mislead and no clear answers are given until you actually begin to work. It is not what the job is described as on the want ad. If anything positive can be said, it is that the manager has an effective way of marketing this job and convincing you that it will be a promising career when it isn't worth a bucket of warm spit.
