Pros

Innovative solutions and pays well

Cons

Unprofessional staff, sales people are ruthless and don't follow basic rules of engagement, poor organizational structure, company communication by senior management is lacking - and as a result, employees are in-and-out like a revolving door

Hi there! Thanks for your review, sorry to hear GDS wasn't for you. On a positive note, very glad to hear you enjoyed our business solutions and pay structure. If you wanted to elaborate on your points around company communication by senior management, I would be happy to discuss. HR@gdsgroup.com We offer a two week initial training course, then ongoing support and training, for those who are interested in developing sales training further we offer a six week sales training excellence program. With our aim to support new starters in their role, and supporting in their developing careers. Many employees have been with GDS for several years, developing their careers over time, we do also recognise in some cases the sales environment isn't for everyone. Wishing you all the very best for the future.

Pros

Sales training: some of the best sales training you'll receive in hindsight - boiler room environment. Great for recent grads looking for baseline sales experience but don't stay here too long or you'll get stuck

Cons

Company culture is just drinking Con artist sales pitch - they encourage you to lie / do anything to get the deal done No flexible working

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, it was so positive to read you have gained some great professional sales training during your over three years at GDS, as I am sure you are aware, sales can be a very challenging and competitive environment, especially working with the high level companies we do. To acknowledge your point on "just drinking", lots of great friendships have been formed here at GDS, it can be very social for those who enjoy a night out, team activities, days out etc, I am sorry to hear that wasn't for you and haven taken your comments on board. I do hope during your 3-4 years with us at GDS you have gained some constructive experience you can move forward with into your new role. If you wanted to discuss your points further, I would be happy to hear more feedback and discuss if it would help, HR@gdsgroup.com Wishing you all the very best for the future.

Pros

Good pay and perks. First week I worked there sales people were being chosen to go to chamonix for the week.

Cons

High pressure environment. Communication does not exist in this company. Training does not exist. Value does not exist. Even though they talk about it all the time.

Thanks for taking the time to review, happy to hear you enjoyed the pay and incentives GDS has to offer, sales can certainly be a high pressure environment. I am sorry to read you were not able to take advantage of the training we offer, 2 weeks full time training for every new starter, ongoing training/ support from managers and the the opportunity to take part in a six week sales excellence training course. I would be really interested to discuss your points further and learn more about your experience, please email HR@gdsgroup.com.
