GDS group recruiters will sell you the dream of fantastic OTE, great incentives, travel opportunity, great company reputation and ethics, and great job security.
The sad reality is that none of this is true....drugs are the norm on the GDS sales floor, even endorsed by the CEO who seems to thrive on the wannabe 'Wolf of Wall Street' culture.
Staff are trained by GDS management to use illegal practises to gain phone numbers and contact details...including calling company offices pretending to someone else within that same company needing access to intranet and using illegal software that shows name and contact details when looking at a professional's LinkedIn page. You are actively encouraged to lie about who you are and what you do...a number of GDS employees are made to have fake alias's online due to a tarred reputation under previous names.
The company are on a constant recruitment cycle, as employees are hired and fired weekly, and the band of cowboys otherwise known as the Senior Management are constantly having to upload fake, positive reviews here in order to absorb the constant flow of honest, negative reviews.
The working enviremont is OF COURSE, fast paced and high pressure as any sales enviroment is...what is unacceptable is working within an environment rife with drugs, sexism and something commonly known within the company as 'snaking', a practise where employees actively go out of their way to steal business from one other leading to constant feuds.
Multiple articles and C level executives complain about the illegal telemarketing practises at GDS, which are ignored and even threatened.
Overall, AVOID AVOID AVOID
