Pros

You have the chance to learn a lot new things and software's. Promotions are available but only for the hard workers that show off.

Cons

If you ask for a pay rise it is considered as an insult to the high management. Hybrid or Remote working is a NO in this company

Thank you for sharing. We're glad you are enjoying the company and culture, and we are constantly thinking of new ways to reward, incentivize and promote our staff. Unfortunately we do not offer remote opportunities as this affects team balance and culture; the growth we have recoded over the past 2 years would not have been possible to manage in a remote, fragmented team environment, however we will certainly look into this as a consideration for the next few years and how Hybrid models may work. If you have any further suggestions on this please send them over to HR@gdsgroup.com

Pros

None, Zero, Zilch, Horrendous Company

Cons

Terrible culture, lies, deceit, like a Victorian workhouse at times. Awful senior management and CEO. Stay well clear of these cowboys!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry that you did not enjoy the 2 years you worked for GDS Group. We pride ourselves on having a strong company culture and we have implemented more incentive, staff day trips and financial bonuses than ever before, ensuring we are able to reward and motivate in equal measure. As such we have managed to grow consistently over the time you have been in the business. We’d be interested to hear more details around why you felt you were unable to take anything positive from your time GDS – please could we follow up in confidentiality? Please email HR@gdsgroup.com and we can discuss this further.

Pros

The Pro is that the base salary is guaranteed during training around 60K

Cons

I've never been more miserable in my life outside if the time I've spent ar GDS group. This js a boiler room style sales organazation that makes men where full Suits and tie daily to sell leadership summits. I was so miserable at this company that I would hide in the bathroom as long as I could to be away from my desk. I stayed for 45 days and had to quit for peace of mind. My entire training class of 12 was gone from this company within a year .

Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy your experience over the 45 days you were at GDS. We understand the importance of training and ensure that all staff go through a robust onboarding program for the first two weeks of employment so we can set you up for success when you join the sales team. We have a collaborative and supportive culture in New York and many of our recent starters are thriving due to the hands-on support they receive. This does not however change the fact that sales environments are high pressured and I can only apologise you felt the need to hide in the bathroom, had our Management known this they would have tried to work with you to find a solution. Our dress code has always been business casual, however when on client calls we do advise team members to dress smart to ensure a good impression is made. We have many employees that have worked for us for many years, some for over 20. We are proud of supporting their careers and understand the important role that training plays in this. I would love to discuss your concerns further with you, as improving the GDS experience is very important us. Please reach out in confidence if you would like to talk more.
