a room staffed with telemarketers
As Hacene said this is wrong language combination and I even cannot read the sentence. However you said this is a monolingual question and term in question is in English, so I assumed you want to know what it is in English.

First is litaral, second is colloquial expression we hear often in daily basis (at least in America).

Incidentally in the US, there is a Federal regulation called "Do not Call" law. This is because those telemarketing efforts are getting so high-pressured and so annoying to most of households that people (I myself for one) register their phone number under this law. Boiler room callers (i.e. telemarketers) are fined severely if they called these phone numbers.
Just for your further reference.

firmă care se ocupă cu afaceri ilicite
Greu de redat sensul... în engleză termenul implică mai multe, vezi definiţiile date mai sus în engleză, dar nu cred că în română avem un termen intrat în uz pentru aşa ceva.
