Vantaggi

First of all – all the negative reviews are from reps who couldn’t cut it, so they either opted out or were forced to opt out of the game. GDS has completely changed my life for the better. GDS’s leadership believes in second and third chances, which is admirable and a quality that separates GDS from other organizations. I was basically blackballed from every company due to a false accusation of domestic battery from my ex-wife. But GDS looked past the noise and saw the value I could contribute. GDS fosters a culture to win by any means necessary. Some might call this a gray area – I call it relentless value and dedication to our clients, which is key in any sales organization. Never have I been part of a place that would bend the rules to secure the deal in order to help the customer. We will help them grow revenue – whether they like it or not. But do not be fooled – GDS is not for the faint of heart. You will be making 100+ cold calls a day. You will be facing rejection, pressure from leadership to drive value. But the fruits of your labor will be sweet. At GDS, you can earn $75K to even $90K in a single year! On top of the pay, you get amazing perks – like going out of town with the leadership team on weekends. This is a great opportunity to get face-to-face time with your boss in extremely intimate and private settings. GDS is a 10/10 sales organization.

Svantaggi

No cons at all! Leadership know what they are doing.

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.
