      Pros

      Great pay and great benefits. Solid training program. Large upside provided you're willing to put in the work and go the extra mile. Fun culture that moves fast providing employees with a wide range of small-medium business acumen from a variety of sources.

      Cons

      Company is working to discover its next step and identity after massive growth early on. As a result, some of the core values and goals are not always aligned with day-to-day objectives. Poor interdepartmental communication can be frustrating at times yet this is likely the case in some degree at most companies. No matching 401k.

      Built By Groupon

      Pros

      Small business owners can be built with Groupon, but as an employee, your career can also be built by Groupon. Starting as a recent grad almost 6 years ago, I have been able to kick start my career by the exposure and opportunities here. Roll up your sleeves, dig in, and have a seat at the table, because Groupon welcome those that challenge the mundane.

      Cons

      You'll need to get creative. If you don't want to push the limit some times, might not be the place for you.

      Pros

      nothing forms friendships quite as quickly as trauma bonds. Work life balance has been good but that's been my choice. I am constantly asked to do things and preform tasks outside of my normal hours. I just refuse to if i'm not on the clock

      Cons

      -Pay: The comisson structure is a mess. They keep it all super value and confusing so that if you try to bring up pay issues they can just tell you you didn't understand it correctly and blame you. -From what I can tell BD's are expected to do a job that is normally divided up between several people. We are doing cold calling, Lead sourcing, account managing, website building. It's a mess. It's not that it's too much to do its just that the metric you have to hit do not make sense with what your day to day. Said simply, you're set up to fail. I have never become so jaded about a job so quickly. it's been less than 6 months and i'm pretty done. This is a company run by idiots and they will fail soon unless they get there managers in check, hire trainers, and start treating their employees with respect. I don't care if we have a coffee machine or you get donuts for the office every couple weeks. Pay me what you said you would and i'll be fine. But they can't even do that..... Just don't. It's not worth your time and they'll probably fire you with in the first 2 months anyway.
