Account Executive at Einstein Industries
in San Diego, CA

What do you like about working at Einstein Industries?

"Coworkers and getting to work with clients of the cosmetic medical profession."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"In sales, 99% of people don't make it, but if you do, the money will be great after about a year.Expect a base of $30k or $36k (dependent on your experience) and cold calling for a solid six months before starting to move on. You'll make a little commission after four months or so, but your base will drop shortly thereafter. You won't see good money for around a year. Lots of micro-managing during this time and mixed signals.If you can stomach all of that, you can make over $100k a year.Remember: it's huge sacrifice to get there, and hardly anyone makes it."

What don't you like about working at Einstein Industries?

"Mixed signals, micro-managed, expectations conflicting and constantly changing, low pay."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Provide stability, clear expectations and make my employees feel valued."

Account Executive at Einstein Industries
in San Diego, CA

What do you like about working at Einstein Industries?

"Coworkers are cool. Like interacting with clients and the demographic of clientele"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"99% of people don't make it. It's a mix between quitting and getting fired, but most don't get passed three months. It realistically entails a minimum of six months of cold-calling before that starts to taper off, a pay drop, and a year before starting to actually make money. That is, if you can survive the micro-managing, constantly changing expectations and mixed signals. If you can make it past all that, the money's great.This is in the sales department."

What don't you like about working at Einstein Industries?

"Mixed signals, not given honest expectations, not paid enough to survive, cold calling."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Provide more stability, honesty, integrity, clarity on expectations and work harder to make employees feel valued."

The sales expectations were based on sales that were sold by the Ann Arbor News. Since that publication no longer existed, it was difficult to attain the same revenue that the Ann Arbor News received."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management often made decisions about products, promotions and goals without consulting with the sales rep. Being that the sales team are the front end of the business, I feel that management should have spent more time with the sales team when it came to development."
