I'm currently on the job search and have noticed that many of the entry-level positions for recent college grads with marketing degrees are in sales. I've heard some stories from people and overall sales positions tend to have a negative connotation.
Personally, I would rather pursue other marketing-related fields and feel that I would be a better fit in them. However, I know the job market isn't the best and so you can't be too choosy.
Does the overall job experience vary depending on if you have a "lower-tier" sales job (cold calling/borderline cold calling) versus a "higher-tier" sales job with a reputable company? Is it very high-pressure to meet quotas? Are there any transferable skills that will benefit your future career path?
