Vantaggi

no wifi. no cutlery. no tea or coffee. broken air con. toilets.

Svantaggi

Its all one big con. There are a few sales people here worth their mustard, they will sell you a dream and what you want to hear, they are good at it so beware. Dishonest, poor ethos which comes straight from the top. Very high staff turnover. Misdirection of new starters. Its a call centre and a data mining company fronted as an events company. You are required to be on the phone all day, gather lots of data by making lots of calls, and hopefully for the company sell nothing. If you do make a sale, expect to be fired before you get the commission. Sales Managers claim peoples deals here on a daily basis that they have sacked in the weeks previous. I would faster recommend chronic food poisoning or a bullet to the head than a job here. You are welcome.

Thank you for your feedback. Sales role - I am sorry to hear that your experience with GDS Group didn’t meet your expectations. The Sales environment is both dynamic and energetic, with our sales process relying on several sales techniques. Great prospecting means that we do not only use social media channels and face-to-face but we also use phone based as a means of connecting with our customers on a personal level. We realise that for some individuals that this is not their preferred means of prospecting and therefore these individuals I regret would not be a good fit for our organisation. The first 6 months is a critical learning period in any role where people either find their feet, or find out it’s not for them. As you pointed out there are many great sales people who work hard, are rewarded well and have been here for many years – some for as long as 20! Amenities – Thanks for feeding back on the amenities we provide. We have a kitchen on each of our 3 floors in our Bristol office and a vending machine on the ground floor for all staff to use for drinks and snacks. The building facilities are shared with several other companies and managed independently. I have flagged up your comments from March with them for investigation. You - We are keen to learn from previous employment experience and I would urge you to contact us directly to discuss further.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are pleased to hear that you valued our competitive compensation structure and enjoyed working alongside our team in New York. We work hard to cultivate an amazing team culture and hire leadership that is supportive and inclusive. However, we are very concerned to hear how you felt about your departure and your perception of senior leadership. We operate in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, but it is always our intention to treat our employees with fairness, transparency and respect throughout their entire journey with us. Its a shame you did not feel this was the case.
