There is a business in Freeland, MI which seems to have an outrageously high turnover rate of employees. They offer $14.95/hr to sell/deliver air filters for building air conditioners. The employee must use their own car. If you are a minute late for the interview, you are SOL! Why the high turnover? Perhaps the high wage offered is just for the hour of training you will get at this environmental/pollution control consultan fir which is run out of a pole barn-type building. After that, it's likely commission sales.
