Groupon reviews

This company should not exist. The business model does not work in practice and smart merchants realize this. Groupon has a terrible reputation but no one in management seems to realize this or care. They know that businesses will eventually be desperate or naive enough to give them money. Many common practices here feel unethical, and some are actually fineable regulatory offenses. Compensation continually decreases. Autonomy is disappearing. The "Local" division I was apart of is the heart of this business, and as someone who brings in the company's revenue flow from the front lines, I can tell you that turnover will remain high and most likely we will continue to see downsizing due to a lack of clients and a horrible reputation in the industry that has become too large to overcome at this point. For BDRs specifically, know this is a call-center job. If you don't perform, they will fire you without thinking twice about it.

There is a lot of layoff right now so it creates the sense that there is a bit of instability. It's a company that has grown really fast so people right out of college have had the chance to get promoted quickly... that being said you have a lot of middle management that are not equipped to manage effectively and are not interested in staying in the position they are in. People move around a lot so there isn't much stability in systems in my area of work. Management seems to want to present more that be effective.
