Solicité el puesto por otro medio. Acudí a una entrevista en DEX (Camarillo, CA) en feb 2019
Entrevista
Interview by phone. Told about the job which differed from the job posting, which suggested it was a continual salaried position with a commission, a profit-sharing bonus, and spiffs, only to learn that the commission is "very small" (per HR), with no mention of bonus or spiffs, and that no one stays in the role; that after one year, you are expected to transition to an industry-focused sales role that is paid entirely by commission only.

In the phone interview, I was basically told I would be expected to learn all about every product category and part number within a selected industry, to build a pipeline of potential customers that I can later pursue when I am in the sales role, assuming at the 90-day point they think I am good enough. "Is this something you'd like to do?" I was asked.

Do you have a problem working for someone with less work experience than you?
They make you take a personality test. Pretty simple and straight forward. The lady who was helping me through the assessment process was very nice and generous. After passing the assessment I had and interview with two guys. One of them was very chill and sarcastic guy. The other not so bright. He was pretty rude. Straight off the bat I lost interest in the company and that guy left a bad impression. They sort of intimidated me to test my sales experience. Apparently I wasn’t an aggressive sales man as told from the lady that help me with the personality test.
