      Sales Executive Role

      Pros

      Fantastic people who will undoubtedly become good friends...it makes going to work a real pleasure. Very active social life and a young workforce, including some of the senior management team which makes you feel real progression is possible. Great opportunity to earn good money...way more than other companies in the industry.

      Cons

      Hugh turnover of staff due to the high expectations on sales. Very money driven, so if this is what drives you, this company is for you. Some 'nice' people fell by the wayside as they did not perform. The young workforce meant that older people (over 40) did not fit in and left.

      Pros

      Career progression, opportunities to develop wide range of skills, varied work helps keep things interesting, great people, great charity initiatives, fun days out, great products, customer satisfaction

      Cons

      Can be stressful as it is a KPI environment, ability to handle rejection can be useful! It is a role that demands a high level of responsibility for your own work and earnings - which isn't for everyone! Need to be comfortable working independently and as part of a wider team.

      The Real Deal

      Pros

      I have had the pleasure of working with GDS International now for 1 year and 2 months. Reading through some the reviews there are many negative things that are said that I do not believe to be true. Though this job is not for everyone the nature of job is a stepping stone to be successful no matter what you do. Depending on your role, its primarily SALES and in this role we are expected to produce. I've been on the chopping block within this organization and have used that as a factor to make me do better. The training is great, the real world experience is second to none it is "The best business school I've never paid for" with tremendous support from all of my colleagues it is an office that lifts each other up as it has for me when I couldn't do it any more. Sure there is turnover unfortunately some were let go and others couldn't handle the reality that the phone didn't dial themselves so they quit, and sure there are things that I don't like but its not unique to GDS International but with every job I've had. If there was better product offering out there I'd be working there and not here, having attended some of our summits they have a product that is truly what they say it is, however it is up to the employees to make the projects we work on flourish. For any of those who read I recommend you follow what your heart tells you and no others - just a word of advice

      Cons

      As with any job there are things that we dislike with our current employers here is what I say. I'd like to close my own deals instead of priming them up for a Senior Salesperson, Refrigerator is never cleaned I swear some the food there has been than longer than I, I appreciate if other employees would respect existing client relationships, no email/templates on CRM/Outlook, commission brackets Bronze,Silver,Gold I rather get paid a flat commission instead of having to qualify for a higher bracket. Mild micro management.
