Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.

Vantaggi

Met a few good people here, but none of them lasted. Everyone eventually quit or got pushed out.

Svantaggi

This company is a perfect example of how to burn out employees, squander talent, and mismanage a sales org. Team members are often overlooked, talked down to, and treated more like call-center output than actual professionals. My manager consistently interacted with me and others in ways that were discouraging and demoralizing, and it was clear there was little interest in coaching or developing people. The culture feels more like a clique-driven high school environment than a workplace. Turnover is nonstop, and the atmosphere noticeably changes whenever senior leadership is around. KPIs are unrealistic, and the product is genuinely tough to sell in the current market. Hitting quota is rare, many reps only close a couple of small deals the entire year, and the commission structure doesn’t make it any easier. You’re closely monitored from the moment you log in, and by mid-morning you’re already being questioned about your activity. Late hours are common due to rigid activity requirements. Training is minimal, senior reps generally keep to themselves, and asking for help sometimes gets interpreted as not being capable rather than trying to improve. The day-to-day environment is loud, chaotic, and high stress. Headphones aren’t allowed. Standards are enforced unevenly. Some people are given a wide berth, while others are micromanaged over very small things. The culture leans heavily on pressure, constant urgency, and short-term reactions instead of any real long-term strategy or leadership approach. If you care about your mental health, professional development, or actually improving as a salesperson, I’d strongly recommend looking at other companies. Leaving this role was genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career.
