What to ask other sales reps when interviewing

hello savages, 

I am currently interviewing for an AE role at a startup and have secured a meeting tomorrow with a rep at the company to ask some questions and learn about their experience. 

This is my first time doing this and I want to ask the right questions. What are the best questions to ask?

"Why is there an open role here? Did the last rep suck or is the territory shit? Or this is a new expansion territory?"

I'd be sure to include the following two:

-How long does it take to get paid on closed deals?
-Now that you've been here a bit, what are the actual prospects for upward mobility?

How would you describe the management style? 

What’s the toughest part of working here? The best? 

Do you love this shit? 

Are you high right now? 

Do you ever get nervous?

Ask what the expectations are of a new rep- when are you expected to close your first deal?

Also ask what the onboarding/training experience is like!
