Pros

Base Salary is high to lure people in

Cons

Everything at GDS is built around lying. You are being actively misled during the hiring process. The first sentence of the script you read every day is a lie. Your manager will encourage you to input fake activity because it is important for the office to show fake numbers to hq. The morning meetings are built around celebrating the people with the best activity when it is OBVIOUS / SO AWKWARD that that person input a bunch of fake activity. The company is run by the founder who is the only person who makes any decisions. The group that lead the office have no power to make any meaningful change and they know it. The management style is actively celebrated as being Alec Baldwin's speech from Glengary. If you are 1 minute late (to work, from break, from lunch) be prepared to be yelled at in the middle of the sales floor. Extreme micro-management. Literally "what have you done in the past hour?" Stay away.
