I managed to land a job after going back to Workforce One on NY. Its a sales position for a company known as Madison Who's Who. I decided to check out their website, only to find out they have complaints against them for scamming people. I feel that my morals and ethics are bothering the hell out of me since I don't want to feel like I'm getting a paycheck by ripping anyone off. But at the same time, I've been looking for a job for some time. Should I tough it out with this one?

I did have a phone interview last week for another position and I should be called in for an in person interview.

That's not a sales position. Sales involves a product or service that actually provides a real value or protection to the end consumer. It's a telemarketing scam.

Now, that said - if you need a paycheck, keep the gig while you find another.

Yeah, I figured it was a telemarketing scam. My grandmother told me to think of it as experience, since my uncle works in sales and may be able to offer a job.
