GDS Group reviews

High Turnover. Absolutely unrealistic expectations in terms of pitches per week. Days are structured for hours worth of calls blocks leaving little time for prospecting. Its a total smile and dial job. Its a little sketchy when cold call how forced to tell clients “projects we are working on” when we have never spoken to the person we are name dropping. It sets a bad precedent for when meetings do get set. Training is also a disaster, one weeks worth of training and you’re thrown into the pack and expected to be an expert. The salesforce system is a mess where leads can easily be taken away after two weeks and no structure in place for business rules. You will be lucky if you close a deal within your first 6 months as its a tough to sell product. Also terrible pto policy. GDS gives you the last week of the year off but counts it towards pto days and still forces you to come into the office and work a full day when they know no one will answer phones the days before major holidays. There should be a remote optin for that. Shady operation all around and incredibly draining position. Im glad I left.

- some micromanagement - turnover is quite high (like any sales job) - training is hit or miss - not the most “uplifting” morning huddles
