Pros

Free coffee and soda. Awesome coworkers

Cons

Poor managers who are abusive. Dying industry...sorry but the "earlier adopters" have become disillusioned and dropped out. Deals that generate no commission. Embarrassed to tell friends who i work for! everyone has horror story! Goals are set in place that no one can reach. Merchants do not want to hear the name Groupon. It's impossible to do sales. We were told to post fake reviews on ratings sites so that our merchants look better. But then LivingSocial corporate/HR does the same thing. The only thing they got going for them, is a lot of young people who dont know any better and don't mind drinking the kool aid.

Some days you have to make long hours, things change really fast, sometimes a bit too fast if you 'd ask me

Pros

It's a great company / opportunity if you are entry level. Good training program and an interesting industry.

Cons

There was no rhyme or reason for people being placed on certain markets. People with no experience could be put on a large market (where your earning potential is ordinarily higher) and seasoned sales reps could be put on small markets, regardless of what you were told during the interview. It was extremely difficult to move into a different market even as a top performer.
