Pros

The only pro I had a Deltek was my direct manager who they let go for no reason. Almost all of their decent leaders have left the company.

Cons

Commission structure designed to force you to make less and less each year despite over achieving, sales development is treated as part of sales when its convenient for the company but not part of sales when its not. Ie no PTO during black out days end of each quarter and not eligible for Club. You are treated just as a number on a line item budget and will be let go just as easily. They non compete clause is also barbaric if you wish to ever work in software sales again.

Within our company, our Sales Development colleagues are valued members of our team. We are sorry that your experience with us did not reflect that. We’ve recently expanded the eligibility for President’s Club and increased the number of Sales Development team members who can qualify. Sales leadership is committed to fostering a healthy, engaging work environment for our entire organization. We take this feedback seriously, and are continuing to invest in ways to empower and invest in our Sales Development team members and support a culture of performance across the board.
