Be honest with yourself, it's all about fit

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely good compensation, competitive salary, great vacation days, good office culture. If you are more of a self starter with lots of ambition this is the perfect place for you to grow your book of business, and make lots of money without being micromanaged. KPIs are extremely important to leadership (when is it not) but they do a good job of not overwhelming their employees and keeping moral high.

Cons

If you favor micromanagement, intensive training sessions etc... than this might not be the best fit for you.

Pros

I have been working for GDS since February 2020 and was even kept on furlough before being switched to their Meet The Boss function. The Company is growing massively and is a bit like bitcoin...jump on before you miss it! Pros - Good commission on top of an above average - Great chance to build your professional network and speak with executives who some people idolise - Daily and Weekly updates from Management - Solid Training and support for new starters - Good location & modern office - Additional Responsibilities available

Cons

Cons - - Some pressure from KPis but nothing more than any other sales role. - Commission changes a bit too much but is become more fixed and is improving infact.
