Trigger happy boss in NYC

Pros

Nice office, great downtown location, drinks in office and during lunch. If you play ping pong you will love break time

Cons

I honestly believe that the NYC boss wakes up every morning wondering whom he can fire next. Cliqy, “Mean girl” environment. Unprofessional team leaders who think they can close but actually hurt every potential sale. Their first sales “tactic” is to discount price so if you’re a potential buyer don’t pay full price. They are afraid of the competition which is a group of old employees that started their own company.

Pros

A great energetic environment to be in if you are looking to learn and progress in the business world, with a fantastic range of people working here you will always have a friend at GDS. Every company has its difficulties, however GDS thrives on team work and addressing those difficulties to ensure we have a happy and well treated workforce. The sky is the limit in here, you get out what you put in, they give you the tools, training and support to get there, at the end of the day its up to you whether you want to make 30k or 100k that year. I have never seen a sales environment where they actually leave at 5, you can come in, work hard and carry on with your life after 5. It is a difficult job but nothing comes easy in life

Cons

You get out what you put in, and you are in charge of what you earn, this can put off some people. it can be very competitive and challenging

Pros

Always great sales prizes and people are amazing to work with. Earning potential is excellent. Don't need to oversell as the product is good even though they do price themselves out of the SME market which their platform would benefit most in my opinion. Got to travel around the world to some amazing hotels and met some amazing CxO's. The relationships you can build with clients is good to aid your account management. So Much earning potential. Company days out can be good.

Cons

Management need to be more patient on expectations when implementing/changing process', systems' and product. Some people will oversell/lie and this will be depending on the their line manager. Don't get t see any of the places you go to host events and you'll be up at 6 each morning and bed gone midnight three days on the trot and then whisked straight out and back to work the next day. Don't do many company days out now.
