Pros

Free coffee and soda. Awesome coworkers

Cons

Poor managers who are abusive. Dying industry...sorry but the "earlier adopters" have become disillusioned and dropped out. Deals that generate no commission. Embarrassed to tell friends who i work for! everyone has horror story! Goals are set in place that no one can reach. Merchants do not want to hear the name Groupon. It's impossible to do sales. We were told to post fake reviews on ratings sites so that our merchants look better. But then LivingSocial corporate/HR does the same thing. The only thing they got going for them, is a lot of young people who dont know any better and don't mind drinking the kool aid.

Disconnected leadership makes working here extremely frustrating. Changes are made that don’t directly help anything.
