GDS Group reviews

- From day one, they want you to lie about what GDS does. IE: Don't mention summit to prospects even though that's 98% of what the company does. - Very high turnover rate. - Company is on the downhill as all the delegate sales people in NY have either been wiped out or moved to another city. - They look to hire new sales people every month because they know that they will replace the existing employees. - Lack of job security. Only 5 out 70 sales people are actually selling these packages to sponsors. The rest are either job hunting or just hoping for the best. - They do not provide you all the necessary tools to achieve. No marketing team, no Salesforce Navigator, and no guidance. You're basically thrown into the wolves after you're done with the training class. - No HR department. - If you don't know how to lie in this job, then you're doomed. - Look at all the recent "positive" reviews, all from the same date. Coincidence? I don't think so

Here is where the CONS came in for me personally - alright there is a lot of training initially, you don't feel prepared fully for what you will be doing, and there's not muh of a development culture going on. You get trained on the concept of how it works, the product and the business model, but don't really get trained on how to do it great. - the job itself is actually very hard, (maybe because of lack of training) felt like I was thrown on to a computer, given a section and then told to somehow find business so it was a bit tough. Overall: it's a cool place to work for, you do learn quite a lot and no matter how good of a sales person you are, you still manage to take away something positive from the experience and learn something new if it's just a stepping stone, or you make this place work for you and progress through the company.
