Pros
I read these recent reviews about the lack of diversity and differences in pay etc etc.. That is all untrue. Being a Sales Engineer requires a certain skill set and knowledge. To suggest that the company seeks out people of a certain color is ludicrous. If you’re given the privilege of attending Sweetwater University and waste your time worrying about everyone else you will not be successful. This is not a job for the faint of heart. You are literally given the ability to run your own shop. And the pay is not taken away when you roll out.. They structure it down over a period of months before you’re living on commission… To the person that wasted his savings all I have to say is you were given an amazing opportunity and to rise to the occasion and you chose to make yourself a victim. You will never be successful with that mindset no matter what your background is. And Sweetwater lays all that out before you get hired. This I know because they moved me from 900 miles away. I worked so many hours in the beginning so I could take advantage of this amazing opportunity and now I’m making more money than I’ve ever made… and btw one of the highest paid Sales Engineers in the company is a man of color.., Yes there was an update to the commission structure but it was a positive change. I am now getting some commission on customers I would otherwise not have gotten a dime on previously. Yes it’s 15% or 10% depending on certain criteria but prior to this change it was either 20% or 0%… Get your facts straight before you post your failures on here. There are so many amazing perks and benefits to working at Sweetwater including health benefits access to a personal trainer and gym, access to mental health counselors and life coaches all for free….
Cons
No company is perfect. Sweetwater is going through a lot of major changes and yes there are growing pains. But despite that we push through it we persevere and we succeed… This company is running lean and mean and is making money when so many others are not…
