Vantaggi

If you need something quick, they will hire anyone

Svantaggi

The company and leadership act as if their reputation with businesses hasn't been tarnished through bad business practices and being vultures cutting out any profit for their merchants. Almost every phone call that you make, when someone picks up the moment they hear Groupon, whatever goodwill or rapport you built shuts the conversation down. Depending if, and its a big if, you make it through training, because the first meeting you have with the trainers is them covering all the ways they can fire you, then you have to contend with people who have been in the company for 5+ years that have entire regions locked down syphoning all the sales for themselves. Heaven forbid you get something that could close only to find out that it belongs to someone else, OR you attempt to close it and they come along and try to have you give them the sale anyway. Long story short, the hiring process is you start with 40+ people and by the time training is over you'll be lucky if 10 of you survive it. Avoid this place worse than the plague, because the stress and pathetic excuse for pay are not worth the time and headache.

Vantaggi

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Svantaggi

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
