Pros

Good location, you can learn where not to work in the future, decent basic, good commission structure - if you ever manage to get it paid out to you

Cons

As per following reviews, do NOT get sold on the dream. It is not true, it's aggressive unethical and cloak and dagger type of selling of a useless and made up product no one will ever purchase for a second time... I can not imagine who can enjoy this type of job, where you know that you blatantly have to lie every day and trick people into coming to these events. You have to be a very specific type of person to enjoy working here - if this job is for you, you probably won't bother to read these reviews anyways. The people reading this however, my advice is to stay away.

Thank you for your feedback. Location & Commission - We agree the location is great and have put a lot of work into getting the right commission structure for each of our teams so I’m pleased that you recognise those positives. Sales role - I am sorry to hear that your full 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. Customer retention - We believe in an authentic and ongoing relationship with our customers and our retention is extremely good as you’ll see from our customer case studies on both www.gdsgroup.com and our GDS Group youtube site. You - We are keen to learn from previous employment experience and I would urge you to contact us directly to discuss further.
