Pros

- Sales department is made up of some really great people - Some of leadership actually makes you feel like they care about your success - Free snacks and coffee (although they do get a little stingy with that too sometimes) - Early release on Fridays sometimes (used to be every Friday but now its whenever upper leadership feels like it)

Cons

- Lead by fear approach from senior leadership - Leadership verbally degrades people in office wide meetings - threatened to be terminated in office wide morning meetings - no incentives to do well besides commission, management seems to think money motivation should be good enough - Favoritism is rampant, KPIs don't apply to you if you're liked by management while others are put on performance plan and terminated for the same - communication is terrible between leadership to subordinates -Poor excuse for an HR department, always told by opps "email the UK" and the "UK" HR barely responds and when they do, its with rude or wrong information or both. HR refuses to get on a call with you to discuss major HR matters such as EEO violations

Pros

Met some fantastic people at GDS but those were a handful

Cons

If I could give zero stars I would -Leadership provided no training -Boiler room style sales -Lying to clients -Rules of engagement don't apply to people who are close to leadership -Overpriced product -Toxic leadership that underpays existing employees and does not provide raises despite record profits -Threats of firing people in order to get them to perform -Very sleezy sales people -Drug use and rampant alcohol even in office -ALL THE 5 STAR REVIEWS ARE WRITTEN BY THE SVPs AND THOSE CLOSEST TO THEM. EVERYONE GOT PULLED INTO A ROOM AND TOLD TO WRITE A 5 STAR REVIEW BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE
