Unorganized

Business Outlook

Pros

Great culture, a lot of young people.

Cons

Management is completely unorganized. Be prepared if you are in sales because this job is all cold calling to businesses that we either worked with in the past and they had a horrible experience or they are business that have never worked with Groupon and do not ever want to. However, they have been contacted a dozen times already by several different reps and just do not want to be bothered anymore yet we keep calling. It seems that the Groupon market is pretty saturated and it is a model that only works for businesses that have little to no variable costs (museums, zoos ect). I would honestly feel guilty when setting up deals for companies when I new it was going to hurt the business financially but had no choice because there are goals to reach in order to keep your job. The job is terrible but they put in a game room, offer free vitamin water and sometimes give you pizza to trick you into thinking that this is a great place to work.

Never Again.

Pros

As far as I'm concerned, this is a job for those who are looking to enter the sales or marketing industry - not a career. You can make the company millions and get paid pennies as "compensation".

Cons

Terrible management, redundant positions, extremely incompetent account managers and merchant prep team. If you're looking for a constant headache - Groupon is where you will want to be. There is a huge focus on short term fixes versus long term development and goals. Groupon is an "idea" not a business model.
