Pros

I met some amazing people who luckily most have managed to escape to better things They will lure you in with a high salary

Cons

Toxic doesn't cover it, they hire senior leaders who have no clue what they are doing but as long as they can talk the talk they get by/promoted. There is no culture other than something hazardous you wouldn't want to grow. The toxicity comes from those on high and oozes all the way down. They hire talented people and squeeze everything they can out of them putting huge pressure on them because they know they have no chance of hanging onto them. Worst place I have ever had the misfortune of working at. Micromanagement is seen as normal and okay. Invasions of privacy and not taking health concerns seriously. If you do not meet their 'standards' you will be punished and if you dare stand up to anyone consider yourself gone.

Pros

Base Salary is high to lure people in

Cons

Everything at GDS is built around lying. You are being actively misled during the hiring process. The first sentence of the script you read every day is a lie. Your manager will encourage you to input fake activity because it is important for the office to show fake numbers to hq. The morning meetings are built around celebrating the people with the best activity when it is OBVIOUS / SO AWKWARD that that person input a bunch of fake activity. The company is run by the founder who is the only person who makes any decisions. The group that lead the office have no power to make any meaningful change and they know it. The management style is actively celebrated as being Alec Baldwin's speech from Glengary. If you are 1 minute late (to work, from break, from lunch) be prepared to be yelled at in the middle of the sales floor. Extreme micro-management. Literally "what have you done in the past hour?" Stay away.

Pros

I have been a BDE for 2 years now and I won't be shy in saying it's hard work. That being said, it's sales and to be expected. It's demanding in a sense that they expect you to work. Overall fun atmosphere, commissions changed my life and lots of training across the floor. We have a few new external trainers as well. If you want to work hard and be rewarded for your hard work this is the place for you.

Cons

5 days a week in office. Some flex could be cool.
