Pros

Training When you start a new job the best way to be successful is to have good training and feel supported. GDS understood that, whether you have previous sales experience or not you will find that GDS has invested in training and that it really prepares you for the job. It does not end there, even when you are 3 or months into the job you will still receive trainings and grow as a professional. For myself GDS taught me everything I know and I can really say that my skills have rocketed thanks to the trainings. Product One of the thing I love most in the job is when delegates says how helpful the roundtables were to them. I think that there’s nothing like the energy of being in a room of like-minded people. I firmly believe in the importance of mastermind groups. GDS events provide a unique convergence of networking, learning, and fun into a single package. Support People are amazing. The best thing about the job is the people. From the CEO to my colleagues, I felt supported from day 1 and everyone is really friendly and funny and welcoming. Environment GDS location is great! near the harborside and in front of Queen's square it is green and beautiful. The office is also nice with large offices and kitchens. Management I can only speak for my manager who is again amazing, supportive and on who you can count if you need guidance and pieces of advice. He will take the time and that helped me to perform really well. Culture Hard work is really recognized. Everyone is supportive and celebrate whatever wins you have and support you and advice you on difficult times. Earnings I think that for an entry level job we are really really well paid. They are very transparent about it and I find it easy to get the commissions. The hard work is recognize. Work life balance Nobody is forced to do extra hours and the office hours a good enough to have plenty of time for yourself after work.

Cons

Culture They are not into the hybrid or remote working and it is very office based. Perks It would be nice to have a private healthcare insurance and some extra perks

Earnings are great

Pros

Have met some awesome people and made friends whilst working here, Lovely atmosphere out on the floor, have experienced zero toxicity within my work circles - super supportive and friendly people. Have had some incredible support from certain members of the leadership at this company and loads of the people I work with - had some difficult family situations to deal with and this was respected and absolutely taken into account especially on the account of the managers of my team. Cannot stress the culture is great from the time I've spent here and would not change a thing about that aspect. Also, for a young person living in Bristol the wage can be absolutley phenomenal. A really respectable base salary and after time and effort, commission can take it to the next level if that's what you're about.

Cons

At core this is a sales job, based on KPI's and week on week performance. Therefore, work here comes with all the trappings of being so. Lots of self evaluation and the work is constantly rolling, a lot of focus on continual improvement from day 1 onwards. Training is constantly being improved, from my experience to an extent there was a quite a lot of learning done on the job after onboarding. To consider though is they allow a good period of time at the start for you to find your feet regarding KPI's. In my opinion as long as you're committed and take initiative theres enough opportunity to learn and get into the flow of things.
