Pros

I Have been working at GDS for 9 months, the training i have been given has no doubt made me a better sales person and given me a great platform that allowed me prove my skills. Traveling the world and earning good money... what else could you ask for!

Cons

If you are not a passionate, driven and focused sales person I don't think this would be the place for you. Hard work pays off!
