Pros

- good base salary -experience not needed to get hired -possible potential to succeed if you work LONG hours -good training

Cons

- cold calling - at least 150 dials every day -video calling - difficult to get commission -changing their strategy all the time, short notice for massive changes and everyone is expected to adhere almost immediately -using your own linkedin and mobile number to fish delegates -they tell you that you can sell anything to anyone depending on your technique - this is not true. it all depends on what campaign you are given and target list. - rebooking same executives all the time, therefore senior staff has massive advantage as they have their own database -contacts sourced by kosovo are poor quality, so you need to find your own leads on linkedin. chances are that your colleagues have already contacted same person. -no compliance with covid rules,no social distancing, people working form the office -''cult'' like mentoring by managers and CEO, make you believe you do something wrong if you do not succeed -contradictive information / advises how to do the job (you are given pitch, but people tell you contradictive info what to include in it etc.)

Pros

If you like a challenge, want to push yourself to achieve more and want to learn everyday then this is the place for you! This business is the most exciting place I have ever worked, I have worked at large PLC's, start up's and well known brands all in sales and management roles and there really is nothing like it. You learn everyday, you challenge yourself everyday to do more, the business supports and celebrates your success in a way that I have never seen before. The business has a superb culture, plenty of team days out, great people that can share a smile with you, and performance incentives that will blow your mind - trips to Caribbean, Champions League Finals, Supercar Driving and Skydiving to name a few! I am really proud to be a part of that management team here at GDS and be part of the transformational changes that are taking place.

Cons

If you are focused, stay professional and open to learn then there are none!
