      Pros

      - great in the beginning - young culture - can learn from all industries - great stress handling training ground - fast paced - able to do what you want to do - still young, so opportunities for promotions

      Cons

      - very very inexperienced managers/ C-level managers. Some are as inexperienced as college grads. - the most short sighted web company in the world - the whole company has no idea how to pivot - wrong people in the wrong positions - super quick turnover rate. People quit or get fired ALL the time. On avg., 1 employee leaves per week. - changing or management or positions too fast, to the point where its just devastating to stability - low compensation - biz is not scalable. Sales people are on a never ending journey of revenue targets - in final words...groupon went ipo too soon, because the business needed the fund because essentially the business isnt very scalable. So since the ipo, they need to impress the investors, thus they became short sighted, only looking to squeeze all juice from all sales people. Then what happens is that the company becomes plaqued by this vicious cycle of no technological advancements and only constant pressure on sales people to impress the investors. And prople leave all the time. Also no managers have the mentality of building the company

      The BEST employer in Chicago

      Pros

      The coolest young teammates in the world changing e-commerce for the better. Everyday we inspire consumers to go explore their world. Company is incredibly democratic- you want to work harder for Groupon because of how nice they are to you. We get treated like royalty and they really care about making this the best place to work in Chicago. My fellow Grouponers are the most talented, amazing, creative people outside of Apple. Compensation structure in sales just got simplified, and WOW! Our earning potential is impressive. Also as compared in past sales jobs, at Groupon you have support throughout the process from a variety of teams so you can focus on delivering the best value to the consumer. The projects that Groupon is working on to evolve the company is revolutionary and it keeps getting better everyday. We might be getting bigger, but we still feel like it's a tech startup on the verge of a new revolution. Come join and be a part of the magic! (and the unlimited vacation time or happy hours doesn't hurt either!)

      Cons

      Compensation and commission structure was confusing at first but they keep working on it to make it easier to understand.
