Pros

Accelerated earning and growth potential. Opportunity to fast track your career progression and make life changing money in short amount of time if willing to put in work.

Cons

Too fast paced for some; too loud for some; too structured for some; more of a start-up feel operationally vs. traditional business

Pros

I’ve worked at GDS for 5+ years and it’s a great place to work. Good office dynamic and great place to learn and hone your skills. Just like any sales role you have to hustle. The main difference is that you have support from the global SVP, office VP, your manager and the senior staff around you.

Cons

Lack of schedule flex and sometimes sales sucks but that’s not GDS’ fault.
