Can you get fired for anything stupid (not including general unprofessional conduct).
You do have to sell coverage, you do have to get sucked into a cult and drink yourself until your liver has spots on it to get ahead. There will be times lesser-qualified employees get ahead.

Be careful if you take the job, hate it, and plan on resigning after a short period of time. Do NOT tell them who you will work for if you have another job lined up just in case you have a member of upper management cause you trouble at your new employer, it has happened before.

And getting fired if they don't like you they'll make up anything to get you fired, even claim they wrote you up for shit when you never signed any writeups in the first place.
