Vantaggi
-Fun, young coworkers -short working hours -unlimited PTO is a double edged sword as you need permission and 2 weeks notice to use it
Svantaggi
The inbound team mass hires recent grads on an almost bi-weekly basis, trains them up on Groupon peddling techniques and then filters them out over a 6 month "sales training" program. Employees who buy into Groupon's brutal cold calling strategy will eventually be put on small markets where they will continue to make the same insulting base pay and little to no commission in saturated over staffed markets. Employees who find sales is not their calling (or at least Groupon's brand of telemarketing) will be left to rot on the inbound team or will be quickly terminated for underperformance. For reference, the accepted performance level on the Inbound team is 100% or greater. Less than 100% is deemed underperformance. Systems and technology are often faulty and management is painfully inexperienced. Despite what the recruiters tell you, bonuses are heavily taxed and there is no opportunity for career advancement.
