They are stupid--keep on calling you and keep on pushing you to set up a conference call to talk to our CEO. I was really surprised the way he talked to me this morning,putting his best, pushing me to do things like calling our CEO and than setting up the time for the conference call!!! They really suck. They left 2 numbers 212 786 2492
212 920 8181 ext. 326.
First time they called they said they are from GDS Energy. Next time they called and said they are from NexGen Energy. The person who called told his name is Tom Smuchtz.
These people rally suck.
I don't understand. If this company is as corrupt as everyone makes it out to be, then why is it still up and running? Exactly what laws are they breaking?
Most of the people writing on this thread are total [***]. I have been in this industry on and off since 1986 including several years as MD of my own publishing company. GDS is definitely the best atmosphere that I have ever worked in in a sales environment and the company is dynamic and focussed. High pressure sales is never an easy job and the tough working environment is reflected by the large rewards that success brings. The company is run agressively as it should be by forward thinking entrepreneurs. Personally I wish I had been able to join 20 years ago when I was in my 20's.
As for the personal comments directed against Ollie Smart I have always found him to be very even handed in the way he treats staff (and yes I have had negative feedback in meetings on occasions but my figures warranted it at the time).
I think people need to get real. I think a lot of young people nowadays expect something for nothing and don't expect to have to work hard to get a huge paycheque. Well, folks, I'm afraid the worlds not like that. Buckle down, throw yourself into the job and you will get the reward relative to the effort that you put in. I have to say, speaking personally, that you will also enjoy a bloody good social life at the same time.
I worked here at the start of my career and i am afraid it is all true! Yes, there are some very nice people working there but it is a true boiler in every sense!
There are a select number of people making a lot of money pretending to be people they are not! It is very amusing to hear what these people say what they do when they are talking to normal people down at the pub (lie after lie until they start believing the lies themselves).
They use bogus names and titles and constantly tell lies pertaining to circulation, editorials and confirmed sponsors!
I am flabbergasted that well educated senior executives around the world are still falling for their crude sales tactics!
