      Pros

      -Selling a product that makes a real positive difference to companies. -Great culture. -Ample support to succeed, just show you care about being successful. -Training and management is second to none! -Nowhere in Bristol will give you earning opportunity like this!

      Cons

      To be completely honest i can't think of any cons to my time at the company. Sales is sales. You get in what you put out!

      Had no idea what I was getting myself into

      Sponsorship sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Some nice and friendly coworkers with most in their 20s and 30s. - You get to create any title you want! - Ping pong table. - Free coffee/tea (limited choices) - A great view?

      Cons

      - From day one, they want you to lie about what GDS does. IE: Don't mention summit to prospects even though that's 98% of what the company does. - Very high turnover rate. - Company is on the downhill as all the delegate sales people in NY have either been wiped out or moved to another city. - They look to hire new sales people every month because they know that they will replace the existing employees. - Lack of job security. Only 5 out 70 sales people are actually selling these packages to sponsors. The rest are either job hunting or just hoping for the best. - They do not provide you all the necessary tools to achieve. No marketing team, no Salesforce Navigator, and no guidance. You're basically thrown into the wolves after you're done with the training class. - No HR department. - If you don't know how to lie in this job, then you're doomed. - Look at all the recent "positive" reviews, all from the same date. Coincidence? I don't think so

      Pros

      Money in my account-only thing I can think of as a pro but not worth it.

      Cons

      Drug fuelled office environment, treat everyone like they are children, no progression, management think they are so much better. you will become an emotionless person lying all the time. It's not a career, you will backtrack in life.
