Thank you so much for leaving a review and its great to hear how much you enjoy working with the team at GDS and how you are rewarded against your KPI's. As a sales function, we do have structured KPI's, which we reward against generously. We regularly bring new talent into our teams to ensure we have the right staffing levels across the business.

Pros

- Telesales experience - Office experience - Can make money if you're happy to sell your soul, be spoke down to, marginalised, or enjoy repetitive work.

Cons

- Awful management, stemming across both personal and professional. - Sold a dream - it's essentially a glorified call centre - Rigid lunch, and break times - not really allowed to leave your desk, unless it's the 'allowed' time for 10 minutes at 11am, and 3pm. - Soul crushing work - Old school, wannabe Wolf of Wall Street cowboys - Friday 3pm club... cliq central.
