Pros

-The original mission of supporting our 2A members right of concealed carry. -There are still a large number of great people working there. Although they are starting to leave. -There are people still there that I worked with and love and it’s like cutting off my arm to leave them. -Great CEO -Great senior leadership

Cons

-Supervisors have “favorites” and I think this is because of how they are managed. - In the past year it felt like I was always in danger of being fired for missing a metric. -My Supervisor told me one of her managers always sent out messages to the supervisors on slack stating things as “job requirements” or “failure to do a specific action would result in termination “. It made my 1:1s always feel tense. It always rolled downhill. - I never believed my feedback was being shared in its entirety to my supervisor’s manager and because of this I stopped offering feedback. I didn’t want to get my supervisor in trouble. -Positivity and cheerfulness from upper managers has never felt sincere. -When I tried to share concerns, I never felt heard. -I was often told not to ask so many questions and my suggestions were often met with silence. I was told once by my manager to pick and choose my battles. I gave up trying to push back after this.

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience at Delta Defense. We value your input and are committed to continuous improvement. We're glad to hear you appreciated our mission and leadership, and understand your concerns about communication and support within your team. We take these matters seriously and are working hard to ensure that all employees feel heard and valued. Just this week, our CRO had a Town Hall meeting with all Advisors. Here is how one Advisor shared what happened at this Town Hall Meeting: "What we witnessed wasn’t just another meeting, it was a team showing its heart. The things shared today were raw, honest, and vulnerable. It takes real courage to bring your whole self into a space like that, especially when the topics are difficult or when dealing with something you care about (this company!). Thank you for leaning in, for being brave, and for investing your energy into making this a stronger team. I left the meeting feeling inspired, and I hope you did too!" We know we always have room to grow and improve, and we are committed to our most valuable asset, our people. We missed the mark on your employee experience and we wish you the best in your future endeavors and appreciate the time you spent contributing to our mission.

Pros

Not sure why there are so many bad reviews. I work at the headquarters and it’s wonderful! I have worked at a few companies and there is a night and day difference - Work life balance is great - Wonderful coworkers - Great work/team building outings - Leadership invests in professional development - Lots of opportunities to be in West Bend, all paid for by Delta - Delta is very picky with who is hired to ensure everyone fits the culture - Everyone is super kind and easy to get along with. Also, everyone is very skilled - C suite is very open and honest. Company wide meetings every week that allow everyone to be informed on what is happening. - Benefits are amazing: yearly stipend, generous pto (no problems using it), hybrid or wfh options, good health insurance, USCCA membership, good pay - The dress code is very casual - Paid time off to volunteer! Plus donation matching - The owners are VERY generous

Cons

- The hours can get long some days - Very open floor plan at HQ. This can be a pro or con depending on preferences - The CEO isn’t super involved in day to day operations - Not a con to me, but you must be supportive of the second amendment and feel comfortable around firearms. - If you are someone who likes to do the bare minimum, this probably isn’t the place for you - You will need to pass the culture test and write a values essay. Again, there is a high standard for hiring.

Pros

Good culture at corporate level

Cons

No support or culture at the local level- pretty much on your own. No Back up. Be prepared to work 7 days a week at all hours of the day or night.

We are always evolving in how we support our Sales team, including dedicated leaders in each geographic region and stronger local coverage, so team members are supported. We also want to clarify that we pay based on national pay markets, and that Sales roles include uncapped performance-based commission. Thank you for your time with us.
