Pros

You can make good money if you get attention from the managers

Cons

The new CEO is constantly changing packages, projects, visions, all without communication to the bottom. He acts like he’s nice and goes around and does “floor time” but he doesn’t have real conversations or care at all about how people are actually doing. The product is way worse than it was in years past and they keep raising the price while sticking the execs in venues with cold turkey sandwiches. Management is on drugs (yes, people are aware and no one cares) and has no issues giving you the cold shoulder until you get fired if you aren’t up to their standard quick enough.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you had a positive experience with the commission structure and your colleagues. Building strong teams and rewarding sales performance is vital for long term sustainability and growth. At the same time, we recognize that frequent organizational changes and the perception of instability can be frustrating. As we’ve scaled the business there have been periods of restructuring aimed at better aligning teams and roles, which can feel disruptive if not communicated properly.

Pros

ZERO!! The view from the office is their only saving grace for an office environment.

Cons

In my first week at GDS I saw 6 sales people get fired and even more get demoted. Employees crying in bathrooms over the office culture and scared that they’ll be next. Management micromanages you, even bathroom breaks are timed. If you’re late to work, be prepared to provide evidence of subway delays. Rumors that you never get paid out properly for your commission. Hardly any new hires from 2025 have made any commission this year/close deals, just want you to keep cold calling and scamming company's. They hire a lot of people really quickly and never give them proper training; managers will barely speak to you. Do not leave a current job for a job at GDS as most new hires do not last more than 2 to 6 months. They want you to lie about what company you’re calling from as their reputation is bad. Very fake and phony management. Furthermore, they’re incompetent at using Salesforce and log things on Excel like we’re in the dark ages.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and take concerns like these very seriously. Creating a respectful and supportive workplace is a priority for us, and it’s clear from your review that your experience did not reflect this. However, claims that staff are 'timed' for toilets breaks, and commission is not paid correctly are completely unsubstantiated and simply not true - we would not have lasted for over 36 years a a busienss with practices such as these. If you have ligitamte concerns about conduct, compensation or workplace practices to raise, please contact HR directly at Human.Resources@gdsgroup.com Over the past year we have been investing in improved onboarding, clearer performance expectations and better use of our internal systems and tools. We are also reviewing feedback related to sales training and management communication to ensure our processes are fair and clearly understood.
