Vantaggi

Young work environment, No dress code, free gatorade. Some of the coworkers were great to work with, sometimes would drink on Friday afternoons to help shadow the horrible work week.

Svantaggi

After working at Groupon for about a year, it's difficult to see the long term agenda for this company. I've read a lot of reviews on Glassdoor and unfortunately the negative reviews are, for the most part, accurate with my experience here (for inside sales reps). It was almost a running joke to learn each week who had quit or been fired from an inside sales position. The monthly quotas are set very high and difficult to obtain, especially for small markets who also make the least in commission because of units sold. Most of the time during my calls I was told to take a hike or f-off and to never call back again. And my job was to wait a small period of time and call again. And we would get questioned when the businesses we sign up call and ask to be removed or "paused" because of how many vouchers they've sold...since Groupon wants to keep businesses on their site forever. I knew it was an inside sales position but this was like twisting arms, pulling teeth, and going to war with people on the phone everyday - - hence the very high turnover rate (and why Groupon is always hiring). My advice? If you decide to take this job, do it for no more than a year and move on.

Vantaggi

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Svantaggi

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
