Pros

- Good benefits - Fun environment - Wear whatever you want - Located in River North close to the Magnificent Mile

Cons

- Very stressful - Lack of internal organization... but they are working on it - It's all about luck of the draw. You could get assigned to a booming market and make a ton of commission, or get a market that's not responsive to Groupon and make little to no commission. There are a lot of other factors, but it really is luck, and not sales experience, that will make you money at this company. - Hard to control your success because commission depends on how much money a deal generates, which is unpredictable.

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
