Pros

Free pop and vitamin water & pop. Medical PPO was good.casual dress.

Cons

30 minutes lunch,low saluary for a billion dollar company, no 401k match, unlimited time off (it's deceitful) GOB managers demanding that you work unpaid overtime. So how it works is you have to clock in your hours ( 40 a week) only because they got in trouble for overworking reps. They still do, and look down on people who leave at 5pm. Everyone is drinking the kool aid at Groupon, and its scary. Hire around 15 people a month for GOB, oh and get this they tell people "you are the best of the best" HA! Most of my team was afraid of our manager, and the the person that sat next to me was afraid to quit because out of fear of the manager's reaction. A guy on our team was fired even after he met the 16 sales in 16 weeks on the last day of the deadline. Groupon does not care about its people, and everyone that works there knows it. I am glad i found a higher paying job, and left this abomination of a company.

Pros

Some of the best and brightest humans in the game exist at GroupOn. Can think of two members of the management team that I will remember positively, forever.

Cons

True meat grinder. KPI's are quite high: 100 to 120 calls per day. The physical structure of the room places reps on top of each other, ostensibly for enthusiasm. Initially had been told salary would be "X." Upon job offer, salary was substantially lower. Had a definite feel of bait and switch.

Pros

It truly is an enjoyable environment, and I made friends with a lot of my coworkers. They have drinks stocked readily. And you can't beat an unlimited vacation policy.

Cons

There is ZERO growth here. It's a great first job out of college, but they are slave drivers at time. Your bosses will micro-manage the heck out of you, so don't try to get on Facebook during company time. There is a lot of caddiness and clique-like feelings (especially with so many young employees), so prepare to feel like you're still in college. They also don't see fit to pay a decent wage. I had 2 promotions while here, and still made under $35k.
