Vantaggi

The people are cool and the job pays 90k base (120k if you get chosen to be a director).

Svantaggi

As everyone else said on other reviews - BOILER ROOM. If you are fresh out of college and have the luxury of landing this job then do it. I did the training for a week and the micromanaging factor to this job is absurd. If you have a couple of successful sales years under your belt, please avoid. It's literally a boiler room where you are extremely micromanaged and "pound those phones" environment.

Its disappointing to learn that after a week on the Company onboarding programme, you made the decision to leave GDS. The initial onboarding focuses on learning all about GDS, so it is surprisingly to read your feedback, as you didn't have the opportunity to perform the role. We do have a structured onboarding programme to set our team up for success, which is demonstrated by our new starters scoring deals within 4 weeks of joining, however we respect that the role was not for you and wish you well in your future career opportunities.

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.
