Vantaggi

They payed consistently. You can dress however you want. The first few months on the job are easy.

Svantaggi

Horrible work life balance, average new employee works well over 40 hours a week. Occasionally there is mandatory overtime that is unpaid. Constant shifting of metrics and what matters for sales. Managers micro-manage to no end. A typical day looks like this: 1. Come in and answer emails. 2. Go to a morning meeting where your manager tells you that everyone is not doing enough. 3. Make 50-60 dials to businesses that hate Groupon (because Groupon calls them EVERY DAY until they say YES.) 4. Take a quick lunch 5. Mid-afternoon meeting where you are once again told your team is not doing well enough. This time with a completely pointless activity. 6. Make a million more calls. 7. Leave an hour late. There is no 401k matching. The biggest con I can list is how the workforce is split up. This company hires upwards of 50 salespeople a month. Because at least that many quit every single month. If you got into Groupon as a sales rep more than 1 year ago you can make money, everyone else cannot. Don't work here. It's pointless. It's not even a good reference to have on your resume any more because they hire literally anyone that can speak. Oh yeah, the "unlimited time off" requires you to have ONE MONTH advance notice to take 1 day off. So good luck using that. If you are a frat boy or sorority girl you will love it though. Also this place is going down. They have sullied their name so poorly that the bubble has already burst and they just try to make it look like they make money.

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
