Hello all, I am a recent college graduate and am getting a number of offers from different companies and would like an outsider's perspective on the general circumstances surrounding these companies.

Generally, they describe themselves as "sales and marketing solutions" for Fortune 500 and 100 companies. The jobs entail door to door sales (the one that actually offered me a job after 2 interviews was selling Verizon Fios door to door).

The problem I have with this is I know even if I make $100 on a Verizon FiOS sale, my manager and their manager are making probably a decent chunk of that as well as all of the residual income from the sale. The job is 100% commission and you only get minimum wage ($8/hr) if you fail to make sales.

The other offer I'm getting is typically from insurance companies. I find it shady that the same type of companies are aggressively reaching out to me to set up interviews and get me working so quickly, when I've only been out of college for a week. These direct marketing and sales solution companies generally have bad employee reviews online, but since its direct, I'm not sure if its because people can't do sales or if it really is a terrible gig.

I appreciate any opinion as to whether it would be worth working for a company like this. I'm trying to gauge whether it will be worth it because I feel like I will be 1) good at sales but 2) I have a lot of student loans to pay back. This may not be for me. Thoughts?
