Default met a sales dept employee at lunch

one day at the Cody's Roadhouse Bar. She was meeting her husband on her lunch break. Said TV Sales Dept was great to work for but that you had to pay your dues before getting hired as a sales associate.

Said every year (or at least this year), the bottom third of sales associates are let go (I think after the season). She said that, except for maybe the top echelon, everyone is assigned so many open houses per week. If you are busy with a client, you can post to have someone take an extra open house or two. They may make big bucks, but I believe they earn it, especially working with the ones who look for 3 or more years!
