Pros

Great events for everyone. Casual dress and wonderful options for lunches.

Cons

Lied to about turnover rate during interview process, withing a month I learned I was the the 7th new person in that year. Managers talk about only money matters. But they insist on micromanaging even when your exceeding goals. Establish reps have great flexibility and able to basically manage their own hours. New reps are given burnt accounts, and expected to fix the mistakes senior reps made. Upper management stresses to care more about merchants while managers worry only about getting as much as possible and push the merchants to the limits. Also business model is nothing but diminishing returns, merchants wont run unless given larger margins and less Groupons are sold each time.

Pros

- very relaxed dress code - very relaxed friendly atmosphere - very young employees - entrepreneurial attitude where the employees who have been there since the start of Groupon can freely expressed their ideas and implement them - decent office in a decent location - ideal for a first time job

Cons

- true chaos... through and through - poor pay and benefits package - poor working environment (missing/defective essential equipment and materials) - very unprofessional and immature working environment - have heard and seen things that would have got all the persons involved fired on the spot if that would have happened in a normal, serious and responsible company - very inexperienced workforce, very junior especially the middle "management" (no management experience, let alone managerial skills) - ever changing strategy, systems, organization, reporting line, area of responsibilities, targets, commission structure, incentive plans (not necessarily in line with the new targets set) - very confusing environment, back-stabbing, not transparent, no clear communication (laid off a lot of employees) - really bad reputation on the market - struggling to employ/retain talents, high staff turnover; inability to build business relationship with new or existing vendors, inability to partner with desirable, well established businesses - too short-term target oriented, can't see the bigger picture, no vision of long-term sustainability/profitability

Pros

There is lot of work to be done, lots of new skills to be introduced to and lots of amazing people to work with.

Cons

You are undervalued and overlooked consistently. The pay is no where near where it should be.
