Many thanks for your review and its great to hear the people and the work environment were a positive during your time with us. Our sales cycle does involve cold calling as we empower our people to create and develop their own network to allow them to be successful at GDS, as well as establish relationships to last throughout their careers. As as sales function, it is target focused, but with an established commission plan and regular incentives.

Pros

Good pay, competitive, fun people

Cons

They need to lower the price if they ever want to regain what they lost over the past year. It shows in the repeat business. GDS has become just another events company to most. The reputation has been destroyed.
