Quite literally every single possible negative thing, but at least they bought us a ping pong table

Wouldn't bother - can't even pay you correctly

Pros

Good enough basic, helps pay for a supernoodles for a month, as that's all you can afford when you get no commission actually paid out.

Cons

Headline says it all really. What's the point in being pushed and pushed for deals when you don't even get paid the right commission on them?

Business Outlook

Pros

I have been working for GDS since February 2020 and was even kept on furlough before being switched to their Meet The Boss function. The Company is growing massively and is a bit like bitcoin...jump on before you miss it! Pros - Good commission on top of an above average - Great chance to build your professional network and speak with executives who some people idolise - Daily and Weekly updates from Management - Solid Training and support for new starters - Good location & modern office - Additional Responsibilities available

Cons

Cons - - Some pressure from KPis but nothing more than any other sales role. - Commission changes a bit too much but is become more fixed and is improving infact.
