Pros

Sadly since new leadership came in, there are zero Pros.

Cons

New Leadership has completely stripped the culture, life and soul of the business. This is not the Groupon that once was and not the brand that you might recognise as an external. Unfortunately, it's no longer a business people are proud to be a part, instead, it's a company where the majority of conversations between team mates, center around 'how quickly can they escape'. I was a manager and was spoken to in an incredibly rude manner from leadership, forced to micromanage with constant threat looming over me. The leadership style that once embraced people and allowed them to be themselves, is no longer there, replaced by leaders that just want "yes people". Genuinely became a dreadful place to work.

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
