Pros

head of new york is a good salesman with good learning opportunity

Cons

every manager in the new york office has no idea what they're doing. pointless kpis that everyone lies on. extreme micro management. turnover is absolutely insane, so insane that they basically hire like crazy to keep stealing leads from hungry people. there is one guy in the new york office that does 0 work yet gets free leads and a pass on being late every day (everyone knows who this is). This place will steal your soul, just avoid it unless you're super desperate. The only chance you have staying here long term if you're okay with management eventually stealing all your leads. funny how often they talk about culture here when they have 0

Thank you for your review. We focus heavily on growing and developing our Sales teams at GDS, hence why we are currently recruiting at the moment, to increase our Sales teams across GDS to allow us to realize our ongoing growth plans. Our VP of Sales and CRO, based from New York, are both very experienced professionals, so there is big opportunities to learn from experts, as well as our L&D Team. We are KPI centric and understand that this may not suit everyone, but at GDS we use it as a framework to support performance.
