      Pros

      Working with incredible merchants and co-workers towards a common goal of bringing in new customers and more money to local businesses. Fun watching deals take off. Groupon is a fun quirky company. If you are able to close a lot of great deals, you will be compensated.

      Cons

      Unrealistic profit goals - the better you do, the crazier your goals get. Every quarter you are expected to exceed what was done before and with mostly NEW businesses. The cold calling is rough. A lot of merchants are over Groupon. And once you do get a deal signed up, there is a lot of drama before, during and after.

      Pros

      Learned a great deal here. My first big guy job and the responsibilities kept me focused and motivated. I grew a lot as a person at Groupon as well

      Cons

      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
