Pros

Nice people (for the most part), ping pong tables, and Christmas vacation

Cons

Management is very inconsistent and you will hear different agendas from each one. If you want to sit on the phone every second of every day cold calling and maybe getting 4 people on the phone, then you will love it here. You will build no skill set at all and employees are swatted out like flies. The company does not care about its employees and this is no place to start. It's certainly not a place for career and its barely a job.

If you're looking for a place to earn great money meet great people and travel the world, GDS is a fantastic place to do it. You'll have to put the effort in but if you show desire you'll get rewarded handsomely.

Cons

It's not a 9-5 to be successful at GDS you will have to put a huge shift in, but again it will be worth your while as the rewards are awesome.
