Pros

Salary Cool coworkers Chicago office is laid back.

Cons

Management is brutal. Training feels cultish. Not a lot of opportunity for new sales staff. All good business is taken by seasoned reps. Unrealistic goals which means not a lot of opportunity for commission. High turnover Do not treat customers well. Lots of pressure

Pros

Start-Up Culture Employees Perks (Free Drinks, Coffee, lots of beer, food, etc.)

Cons

During Groupon's enormous growth stage, a lot of middle-management had no idea how to lead their teams. Upper-Management disconnected from sales and management team Commission structure got worse and worse over time.

Pros

Great events for everyone. Casual dress and wonderful options for lunches.

Cons

Lied to about turnover rate during interview process, withing a month I learned I was the the 7th new person in that year. Managers talk about only money matters. But they insist on micromanaging even when your exceeding goals. Establish reps have great flexibility and able to basically manage their own hours. New reps are given burnt accounts, and expected to fix the mistakes senior reps made. Upper management stresses to care more about merchants while managers worry only about getting as much as possible and push the merchants to the limits. Also business model is nothing but diminishing returns, merchants wont run unless given larger margins and less Groupons are sold each time.
