Pros

-Groupon works hard to create a fun and energetic atmosphere for their employees. Although they expect hard work from their employees, there is a great work hard-play hard mentality that draws people to it. -The management and sales training team believe strongly in their company. -The sales training program was very thorough and helpful.

Cons

-Downsides of Groupon are the ever-changing expectations that come with being a young company. -Employee retention past training is horrible. Many sales professionals see Groupon as a stepping stone to the next job rather than an opportunity for upward growth within the company. -The job itself was more of a call center than an account management role. -Long hours to meet sales goals -Takes a long time to make commission from sales

Pros

You’ll gain a newfound appreciation for life the moment you walk out the door.

Cons

Working at Groupon was, without exaggeration, one of the most dehumanizing experiences of my professional life. What began as a “let’s roll up our sleeves and save this sinking ship” mentality quickly turned into a draining, existential crisis. The company’s hiring strategy appears to prioritize candidates who may not be the strongest fit for the role, but who share one defining trait: a willingness to work like mercenaries. From there, employees are kept engaged through an ever shifting carrot of incentives that never quite materialize, sustained by an unpredictable sense of stakes that makes the environment feel perpetually unstable. The result is a culture where people spend more energy competing for survival and proving their worth than doing meaningful work. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place is run by aspiring LinkedIn influencers who got one shot in their careers and care more about how it’ll read on their resume than about actually leading. The salary, the office views, and the “unlimited” PTO (you’ll still be working while you’re off, since you’re doing the job of four people from day one) don’t come close to offsetting the toxicity radiating from the top of this perpetually sinking ship.
