Pros

If you need something quick, they will hire anyone

Cons

The company and leadership act as if their reputation with businesses hasn't been tarnished through bad business practices and being vultures cutting out any profit for their merchants. Almost every phone call that you make, when someone picks up the moment they hear Groupon, whatever goodwill or rapport you built shuts the conversation down. Depending if, and its a big if, you make it through training, because the first meeting you have with the trainers is them covering all the ways they can fire you, then you have to contend with people who have been in the company for 5+ years that have entire regions locked down syphoning all the sales for themselves. Heaven forbid you get something that could close only to find out that it belongs to someone else, OR you attempt to close it and they come along and try to have you give them the sale anyway. Long story short, the hiring process is you start with 40+ people and by the time training is over you'll be lucky if 10 of you survive it. Avoid this place worse than the plague, because the stress and pathetic excuse for pay are not worth the time and headache.

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
