Interview experience for sales assistant role raised concerns about fit and transparency

I had an interview for a sales assistant position on Wednesday, but it felt really off. The interviewer barely asked me any questions and instead spent most of the time talking about how successful the company is. I was expecting to learn more about the role, but there wasn't much information provided. I've never worked in sales before, so I was unsure what to expect. Later, they invited me and a few others back for a meeting where they revealed that the job involved door-to-door sales and mentioned a commission of £45 per sale, but they didn't discuss any base pay at all. They talked about sending employees on trips to attend sales talks abroad, which sounded appealing, but I still felt uneasy. It seemed like the interviewer was more focused on selling us the job rather than evaluating us as potential employees. They didn't ask about my work experience or what I'm like as a worker, which left me feeling unsettled. Everyone there was friendly, but I can't shake this weird feeling about the whole situation. I'm a broke student, so I need to take whatever I can get, but I'm not sure if this is the right fit for me. I should find out today if I got the job.
