      It's a little hard to figure out what's meant by children's clicks (assuming "cliques") here and what the context for "cool teacher" is. We would encourage this employee to speak to either his/her supervisor or to us in HR if there is a perception of unprofessional behavior we can help address or understand. We pride ourselves in being professional here and "always doing in the right thing" which is our mission statement. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources

      Pros

      Autonomy, potential for fast growth. You dictate how much you want to

      Cons

      Long hours are a must at the start if you wish to do well for yourself. The work can be grueling at the beginning and is relentless – if you don't disconnect from the job, it is all-encompassing. Effort and hours worked are loosely correlated to income in the beginning, at best. Earning an above average commission takes time and patience.

      When explaining the job to any Sales Engineer candidates, we are extremely transparent that it is all about "building your own book of business" from the ground up. We do a tremendous amount of training (13 weeks of full time classroom training when a new Sales Engineer starts) and absolutely let people know it will be hard work and require both patience and perseverance. But we also then let them see how quickly they can achieve outstanding financial rewards. We think most Sales Engineers a year or two into the job are absolutely delighted with the fruits of their labor paying off. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources
