Pros

Above average pay for the job title compared to other companies

Cons

Very in / out crowd. Management keeps important info from their employees and they just did a ton of layoffs so they're probably going under soon.

Pros

Best place to experience corporate toxicity and gaslighting

Cons

One of the wordt macro-micro managed business ever. False hope of rising up the ladder, change of contracts every 2 months(literally) and to top it off, mass exodus with no warning whatsoever!

Thank you for your review. It’s disappointing you were unable to profit from the development opportunities offered at GDS Group. We have quarterly Sales Excellence groups which you may have missed the chance to be a part of if you were only in the business for a short time. We have a strong junior leadership team to support growth and training, it’s a shame you felt you were micromanaged as we try and offer space and autonomy to all our staff. It’s hard to believe your contract changed in 2 months, our HR team really would be busy if they were changing staff contracts every two months, fairly sure this is illegal so its unlikely to have happened. Please could you let us know more by getting directly in contact with the HR team (HR@GDSgroup.com)

Pros

I could not find any good reason working there.

Cons

It is a sweatshop and the main business is pretty much about selling tickets.
