Great place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

I've learnt how to develop business from scratch and sell high-level solutions. Like all sales environments, the ability to be resilient enough to take disappointment in your stride and keep moving forward is absolutely fundamental, as is the importance of owning your activity and pipeline. Training is really good, if you enjoy sales and you’re good at managing your time well, this is a great place to work!

Cons

Very few stay later than 5pm.

Pros

I learned more about sales at GDS in 2 years than I ever expected. Upper Management was fair and treated you well if you showed them you worked hard. In regards to co-workers, I met some of my best friends while working there at GDS. Leaving GDS to go travelling for 12 months, I will miss you all very much.

Cons

Dealing with business owners/ CEOs etc. on a daily basis can be tough
