Pros

Freedom, flexibility of my position which is/was an "outside" sales role.. ... Really, thats about all... The team was close/great relationships on the team. Did very well in the company and was completely unvalued.

Cons

Everything, where do I start? ... First off, don't go for the position just because the company "Groupon" is hiring you.... Please read: - Commission changes EVERY 3-5 weeks. Changes as in structure. Yes a low base with constant commission changes where you could NEVER know what you are making. - Empty promises promising you the world. And never ever fulfilling the promises with you having to constantly understand, "give it time." They "over promise and under deliver.".... What you should never do as a person, let alone company. Constantly... - Never get answers! Always a "we'll get back to you" from management. Or "give it 45 days for the change" which nothing ever happens. They expect so much out of you, when they give you nothing really. Too many changes, it's a roller coaster leading to disaster.

Not many cons. People are really cool.

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
