Vantaggi

- Lax dress code - Truly amazing coworkers that become life-long friends - Can go to the gym at lunch

Svantaggi

- Don't care about developing sales employees professionally: the only thing that matters is what you did for them that week or even that day. The future is not something they think about, because most people leave within months of hitting the cold-calling sales floor. - Activity goals that get in the way of closing contracts and making the company money. They also leave employees exhausted which affects our personal lives. Oh, and they change almost weekly - no consistency or time to adapt. - No safe place to go with questions - my HR "partner" went behind my back to tell my boss I was reaching out to her for simple clarification questions, not even with an actual problem. My manager yelled at me and told me that I should really only come to him with questions - Extra-curricular activities that benefit the company actually discouraged if it does nothing for sales. - Getting promoted in sales used to take a quarter and now it takes a year which helps save Groupon a couple thousand per rep in salaries - Stay late policies that make you feel like you're in Kindergarten time out, instead of policies that incentivize you to use your time efficiently for a reward - Ultimately, it doesn't matter how well-connected you are or all the things you've contributed - a subjective clause in the code of conduct can be your undoing

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
