Pros

A base salary ($80,000) and commission (if you able to trick a client into buying).

Cons

ALL OF THE MOST RECENT 5 STAR REVIEWS in FEBRUARY 2024 ARE FAKE - STAY AWAY! I'm genuinely surprised that GDS hasn't been investigated & shut down. They try to run this place like the "wolf of wall street". You will make 200+ dials a day (no rhyme or reason, they just want you to dial) They force a script down your throat, you're in office 5 days a week to sit at your desk and make cold calls, you're forced into a schedule where your breaks are timed. They demoted their CEO, they fired their CRO 6 months into his new role, they hire convicted felons, they don't have an HR team, they don't have a legal team, they're involved in several law suits. Should I continue? I spent a few months here, and I wish that I remained unemployed. Please don't ever consider this place - They will lie to you until the day they terminate you. I'm begging, please stay away from this monstrosity.

Pros

none let' s be serious

Cons

This company is run like game of thrones. Spencer the founder is the head of the iron throne and he's got about 3-4 "sons" that have been in the company for most of their adult lives. He keeps them close through intense pressure and will promote and demote based on office sales. It's sad. It's all they know and they feel like they owe everything to Spencer who in turn has complete control over the entire company. Extremely flat org structure in which sh** truly roles downhill. There's one decision makers and it's Spencer everyone else is a dignified soldier.
