Sweetwater reviews

Turn over rate is incredibly high. The reason could be 1 of 2 answers: 1. Most people that work in the warehouse are lazy and not hard workers. Or 2. Realize the common denominator is the company... No holiday bonus unless you are a white collar worker. Seriously. The owner doesn't think the work the warehouse employees worth any praise but sure as hell does for everyone else. The pay itself is enough to say it's no the lowest but only so they can say it's not the lowest. You will not be able to live off of what they pay. I worked full time and one my paychecks barely covered my rent. Do not expect to go home on time. Ever. They have a " you must clock in by 7:59 for you 8:00 shift or you are late" policy. Which is fine. But 3-4 times a week you will be "asked" (required) to stay late. I see the company responds to posts like that saying they ASK you to stay. They "ask" in the same manner as a cop "asking" to see your license when you are pulled over... see what happens if you say no. 70 hour work weeks holiday season. I understand why. There's 10x as many orders to fill and it's warehouse work. But when your White collar co workers get normal hours WITH a bonus it's a huge dip in morale.

From my own experience and having seen ex-SEs experiences, most cons of being a Sales Engineer are the ones created by your own attitude and behavior. You do have to talk with lots of people as you fill the role of customer service. And while most people are cool, it occasionally means having to soothe an upset customer.
