Good Company, Terrible Pay - Account Executive Delta Defense Employee Review

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We hope some of your questions were answered recently, at our company wide meeting. Our Chief People Officer, discussed our total rewards compensation philosophy and what pay markets we use to set salary ranges based on the market. For Delta Defense, our strategy is to pay market competitive base salaries, with variable pay programs (commissions or bonus) that puts total direct compensation at the top of the market or even above when the company is performing well. Our strategy is to also provide a holistic benefits package that supports the physical, mental and financial wellness of our employees. We absolutely do provide merit increases at Delta Defense. Yes, your role as an Account Executive has a set base salary that does not receive annual merit increases. This is because this role has an uncapped commission plan which provides the pay for performance additional earning opportunities for Account Executives. We review the set base pay amount annually for alignment with the market of the geographic area the position is located in. In fact, the base salaries for Account Executives were adjusted upward in several markets for 2022 based on the previous analysis. We hope you were happy to hear during this recent presentation about the ways we are helping our employees offset the impact of inflation. Things like no decrease in the insurance benefits covered; only a 1% premium increase to medical coverage; no increases to dental or vision insurance; and an increase in 401K match. We also introduced new allowances for 2023 and a new service award bonus program. Thank you for being part of the Delta Defense Team!
