      Pros

      Free snacks once a month

      Cons

      Everyday in office mandatory ,Micro managed horribly , lunch and break times are monitored on a daily , no HR or recruitment presence for any kind of people support , VP and managers are all about dollar amount - you don’t make money in 40 day you are fired , no training , no SALESFORCE or Tech stack to support , all they want is cold calling , good luck earning or learning anything in this company

      Pros

      - huge exposure to FTSE companies, execs and office work experience - uncapped commission

      Cons

      - huge office politics - no personal development and use of individual skills or strengths, you're just given whatever they need people on and you'll have to adhere. - slow progression and paid raise

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your time at GDS Group. We understand that prospecting can be challenging, however it is a fundamental part of any successful sales team. We encourage our DSEs to prospect daily, and we have a very strong training team/on-hand management to provide feedback and offer advice to anyone who is struggling or requires help to achieve their daily targets. We have an HR and Finance team, so if you have experienced discrepancy in pay I would advise you reach out to them so this can be resolved (HR@gdsgroup.com) - however I reject your statement that staff are intentionally underpaid deliberately - I do not believe GDS Group could have lasted for +30years and grow by 98% in 2021 if it did not pay its staff correctly.
