All about the CEO making money by keeping costs down

Pros

Move fast when they decide to do something High incentives in sales There is potential in the offer but it is never best in class and you are encouraged to sell what is not yet there or functioning so you have to have no scruples in pushing the sale

Cons

Target setting is top down unrealistic with no or little investment to support you in succeeding or real commitment in customer collaboration. The customer or the employee are not a priority and everything is done for the short-term

Pros

The reason why it is two stars but not one is that workers can enjoy one work-from-home day each week. Apart from this benefit, I can't think of anymore, honestly...

Cons

Many.... very bad (and unfair) management, super high turnover rate, poor salary, disgusting toilets (never been clean), NO hot water... They have bad appraisal system, they don't like to promote people. Workers decide to leave the company right from the very first day joining the company... just too many cons... GD only gives you a job not a career... sad but true...

Pros

Central and they pay your salary on time. Really nothing else! Worst work environment you will experience. Avoid, avoid & avoid!

Cons

Directors and Management (team leaders) are basically people with no respect, intelligence or culture. They will lie to you, bully you, give you KPI’s impossible to achieve and no proper training is given beside discussing KPI’s improvement (cold calling more) and how you can “try” to sell a bad product without complaining. My brief experience in this company just made me feel what I will never do if I create a business myself. All reviews I read on Glassdoor that are negative for this company are true. And I know because I’ve heard many times that the floor directors and team leaders are obliged to write positive reviews to increase the score, otherwise they would have 1 star. This is not from a person (like I read on other “made” comments) who didn’t presentes nice sales and results. I was good selling the product I had to sell. Always achieve my objectives but the truth is: commissions are really bad comparing to other companies, if you watched wolf of Wall Street imagine the movie without the funny parts and you will have a preview how this company works, they sell bad products by lying to clients, 80’s mentality where they give you a phone book and you need to cold call random people you will search on LinkedIn, uneducated people environment, sociopaths are the 10% who still work there after 6 months, fighting for leads against your own colleagues, I saw people fighting there, they use suits to be on the phone every day and to impress the colleague who works alongside them, people without intelligence using a script to call intelligent people, they read call stats on the floor in front of everybody, offices with 7 floors and 4 toilets available for 700 workers! Avoid this place. If you want to work in sales read the real reviews here on Glassdoor and just find a nice company to start your sales career. At globaldata you basically will learn how to cold call people and how to find people on LinkedIn.
