Pros

First of all – all the negative reviews are from reps who couldn’t cut it, so they either opted out or were forced to opt out of the game. GDS has completely changed my life for the better. GDS’s leadership believes in second and third chances, which is admirable and a quality that separates GDS from other organizations. I was basically blackballed from every company due to a false accusation of domestic battery from my ex-wife. But GDS looked past the noise and saw the value I could contribute. GDS fosters a culture to win by any means necessary. Some might call this a gray area – I call it relentless value and dedication to our clients, which is key in any sales organization. Never have I been part of a place that would bend the rules to secure the deal in order to help the customer. We will help them grow revenue – whether they like it or not. But do not be fooled – GDS is not for the faint of heart. You will be making 100+ cold calls a day. You will be facing rejection, pressure from leadership to drive value. But the fruits of your labor will be sweet. At GDS, you can earn $75K to even $90K in a single year! On top of the pay, you get amazing perks – like going out of town with the leadership team on weekends. This is a great opportunity to get face-to-face time with your boss in extremely intimate and private settings. GDS is a 10/10 sales organization.

Cons

No cons at all! Leadership know what they are doing.
