Pros

High tech Overall concept of Groupon is great for merchants and customers Salary good

Cons

Young managers who only are managers because they started here and they grew and needed managers Comp plan has changed 5 times in the 6 months I have been here. Thus making very difficult to reach goals (aka make commission) This is an inside sales job. They give you a list to work off of. The only outside aspect is you can go visit your leads but they want you to close over the phone (dial for dollars) Other people that started with me have already quit or been let go (after 6 months).

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

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
