      Pros

      Great group of people to work with and very easy to advance in the company. If you are highly motivated, love leading technology and enjoy outside sales, you will love this job.

      Cons

      They micromanage more than the average employer. The demands are high and like many sales positions you start 0 every month which can be a good thing and a bad thing.

      Difficult place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good base salary for an entry level job. Decent earning potential right out of college. Excellent training program to develop lifelong sales skills.

      Cons

      Operates with a heavily activity driven model, results in do work for works sake (i.e. expected number of phone calls per day. Not a lot of room for growth and feels almost oppressive in the oversight. High turnover due to burnouts.

      Great Pay but Micromanaged and Inconsistent

      Sales engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Phenomenal base pay. No 70/30 sales split which is rare. Commission on top of baser makes for an unbelievable entry level job. On a micro level, your manager really cares for you and is always available.

      Cons

      Way too much travel. You will spend over half of your month in rural parts of the country. You will cold call a lot. The job can be very telemarketer-y but indoctrination will prevent anyone from actually affirming this. You will be uncomfortably pushy and demanding of potential customers. Management only cares about your numbers.
