The job was 100% commission based and many times on many days clients weren't able to commit because they were ignorant to the fact that it required money upfront to get their product in front of companies. Therefore, if you did not get their commitment you didn't get paid. The hardest part of the job was helping the client to understand that we couldn't guarantee that this product would have a return on investment that they had in mind. I learned the fundamentals of the invention submission and production and trade show industry. As an Independent sales consultant I was in charge of a region of territory that brought in inventors from over 5 hours away to meet with them discuss the challenge in getting their product patent searched, marketed, and licensed without any promise to them that it would make it mainstream distributors. Unfortunately this is easier said than done. During the course of the day you are meeting with clients that have inventions and ideas that they want to get mass produced. If that’s what you’re looking for go for it but don’t expect to have any room for growth or experimentation.Ī typical day working for this company can be very stressful. Over all it is a great place to start out working due to the over all interesting and sometimes questionable designs people come up with that will challenge your modeling chops. There needs to be an art director put in place that understands the workflow and the time it takes to knock things out.

The management of the department is entirely a mess… someone with no experience designing shouldn’t be managing the art at all, creative criticism sure but controlling the department as if it’s a simple click of a button to get things done is ludicrous. The other designers are great and are very helpful when you need something.

You’ll be given little too no explanation as to how things are supposed to look it’s basically a guessing game until they come to you about it.

Worked there for a bit as a 3D designer… some how the customer service manger is also the art director… (that still boggles the mind) some of the requests given yet possible to be done weren’t possible within the requested time frame.
