Workday Corporate Sales Development Reviews

Pros

Great working atmosphere and culture, very collaborative and the work is very rewarding. I enjoy coming to work.

Cons

Can be stressful, very fast growing company so you need to work hard

Pros

During my time here I had the opportunity to travel to my area and work with some great people on my team. The regional sales team I worked with were always super helpful and willing to talk to me and help me get comfortable in the role. All of the people I met outside of CSD were amazing and really showed a passion for what they do and the company. The company itself is really well run and has tremendous... benefits and snack program that was great when you're pinching pennies and trying to save some money. Overall a great company

Cons

Buckle up gang... As you can infer from my title the management staff seems to be better trained in lifting heavy weights and flexing their so-called "muscles" than they are in the area of leading. There is this false hope that there will definitely be a spot for you after your 2 years, but not even the management can get a job anywhere else in the company. Like any good sales staff, you are a bunch of trained... monkeys who make dials dials dials! Have fun with the power hour!!! Nothing motivates you more than a bunch of gym bros yelling power hour via slack. Additionally, there seemed to be very little constructive criticism until things get so bad that you are put on a performance plan. In summary, this place is filled with false promises that no one in there can keep and they are just looking to trap you for as long as they can until you get smart enough to bail. With all the tech companies in the area, I would highly recommend looking somewhere that may be able to back up their claims of having great success at moving up in the company after your time here. If you are unlucky enough to get a job there at least fight for some equal pay. Chances are that chump next to you is making 15 K more than you.

Advice to Management

Spend a few less hours in the gym and a few more hours googling "Managing for Idiots."

Pros

Workday is an amazing company. The culture of the company as a whole is remarkable. Compensation for this role is very strong.

Cons

Workday is an amazing company, however this department is a black hole. They have no real plan to get CSDs (even the great ones) out of this department into other sales roles. The management team is more like a gossiping high school girl click rather than a leadership group.

Advice to Management

Why spend thousands of dollars on training so many bright, young, talented individual if you don’t provide a path to move them further into the organization? I have met enough AES and SCs to know that a talent gap doesn’t exist.
