Pros

- Free beverages - Amazing coworkers who share in your misery - Unlimited PTO (as long as it's approved)

Cons

- Horrible pay. They create bonus plans but then change them half way through when the department is actually meeting the goals. They have done this the past two quarters. - The turnover rate at Groupon is insane, especially for Sales and Account Management. - No room for growth. They recently developed a tiered Account Management system, however you don't get a raise when promoted. - Account Managers have new metrics that make no sense and change every quarter. - The product team is constantly developing new products that Account Managers are forced to sell, and then they end up going away in a month or two. - The Account Management department used to be about developing relationships with our merchants and has just turned into a giant call center. Back books are being changed on a weekly basis so you never know who your merchants are and they are just as frustrated by never knowing who to contact at Groupon. - Department has no morale left. It's impossible to stay focused and positive because there's constant negativity from the entire department.

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
