      Building a house with no foundation

      Accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Environment is young and fast paced which gives you a lot of learning opportunities. Fun social activities outside of work that fosters great friendships outside the workplace.

      Cons

      Problem starts with tone at the top...the mentality is always do what I say not what I do. No one wants to impove how things are done. Problems aren't dealt with, only swept under the rug. Management will listen to your solutions to problems and then nothing will materalize. If you're the type of person that has a can-do attitude, seeks opportunities to make things better, or wants to grow within a company...Groupon is not the place for you.

      You're on your own

      Senior sales executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote employees have an autonomous environment. The Merchant Center showcases the results of campaigns, making it an easy sell once you get a merchant's attetion. Management will leave you alone which is nice. But if you're not hitting their minimum expectation you have daily calls with management- unfortunately about 75% of the sales staff is on 'warning'. Getting to work with local merchants.

      Cons

      Groupon is not what it used to be. The sales leaders treat the outside reps like inside reps, calling off lists of businesses that have been called over 20 times in 30 days. They say they have an automated 'demand generation filter' on the list which is nonsense. If a local business is not 'QL' approved, you can't work with them. You're expected to sell 20 deals a month and the only way to do that is to recycle old deals from merchants you've worked with. But the compensation for a refeatured offer is near next to nothing. You are rated on the amount of revenue you generate and number of contracts back. Since you're always being hammered on number of contracts per month, you can't concentrate on new merchants. It used to have such a great culture. What's left are greedy shareholders that crack whips chasing what will never be realized - a profit.

      Its a Boiler Room

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      So long as you maintaing sales or the appearance of getting sales, you're good. Snarfs makes good sandwiches.

      Cons

      Senior managment is psychotic and doesnt care of the huge collateral damage that happens internally or to the business you're selling to. I felt like I was selling crack. Most employees are just out of school but act, smell, and talk like the office is their dorm on a Friday night. Most of my team was hungover or still drunk on Mondays
