      Going Downhill Quick

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -No cap on vacation or sick days (although you will be made to feel guilty when you take it) -Can make good money if you are lucky enough to be placed in a decent market (although all markets are going downhill)

      Cons

      -Immense pressure to hit unrealistic sales goals -Management out of touch with what's going on during phone calls (it's getting harder and harder to close deals as more and more people don't want to work with Groupon) -Used to be a fun culture. Now it's all about the bottom line and feels like your typical call center -Sales staff are worked to the bone

      Grab your headset

      Sales

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free Diet Coke and Vitamin Water all day!

      Cons

      Grab your headset, get ready to call and call and then do some more calling. That's all you will do. The idea of advancement after working for the company for 6 months is a joke, you'll learn this from the disgruntled individuals sitting next to you who have been there for 9 months or a year. You'll probably start off with some warm leads and then just start cold calling like crazy. I was placed into a market that had already been called on for 2 years by 9 other people. If you want to work in telemarketing, this is a great gig. If you want to be part of a startup, offer input and help develop any sort of useful strategies, you'll be thoroughly disappointed at Groupon.
