We're sorry, but this review is just not correct. I have been here for almost 13 years as the head of Human Resources and in that time there isn't a single Sales Manager who has been terminated, had any kind of write up or other disciplinary action, or received anything less than a very good rating. So the idea that managers are "leading from fear of being fired themselves" is, frankly, preposterous. As far as not doing the job from a practical standpoint, scores of the 330+ courses we teach in Sweetwater University are incredibly practical: teaching, training and giving exact pointers on how to build a data base, use our CRM system, track progress, etc. How in the world this comes across as lying to a new hire is beyond us. If we truly were constantly lying to Sales Engineers,, our turnover rate for that job would be extremely high. It is actually single digits, which is fairly unheard in a commission sales environment. Even the reviewer admits that people can have a successful career here and earn a great living quickly. I'm not quite sure how that comes across as lying. --Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources
