Pros

GDS was my first job out of college and I've been here for a few years now. I've learned a tremendous amount of skills here that I will take with me to any other job I have afterwards. Great way to learn about the market, technology, and meet senior executives who are the movers and shakers within the industry. If you work hard, are willing to learn, have patience, and put in extra hours sometimes, you will do well and make a sh*t-ton of money. I can easily say that I have never had to budget and own way more designer shoes and handbags than most of my friends, and at the same time, I am still growing my savings account more than most people my age.

Cons

Have to be able to adjust to change, because there are always changes going on internally. There are targets as well, so you need to be able to work in a high-pressured sales environment. With that said, if you hit the targets, the commission opportunities are endless.

Pros

I Have been working at GDS for 9 months, the training i have been given has no doubt made me a better sales person and given me a great platform that allowed me prove my skills. Traveling the world and earning good money... what else could you ask for!

Cons

If you are not a passionate, driven and focused sales person I don't think this would be the place for you. Hard work pays off!
