Groupon reviews

Micro Management. Not treated as an adult. No home work life balance. No vacation policy which has translated into Managers not giving or 'allowing' time to be taken. No upward mobility. Compensation is not comparable for location. Management is il trained with little experience and little professionalism. Management has poor time management which results in the employees scrambling. If you come to work here you will be 'sold a bridge' as they say. Do not take the salary cut for the opportunity, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!

It is understandable how a company such as this has to make changes. It grew incredibly fast and didn't know what to do with itself. However they need to take a look and see how miserable their employees are, especially within the sales staff, and maybe readjust some of these changes. Our commission has been cut drastically and our goals are unrealistic. Groupon has become this constant "more! more! more!" monster. We no longer consult businesses but call them and tell them what features they have to run. If they don't want to do it, we move on, and yet go crawling back to that same business a few weeks later when we've exhausted the others to try and force them into a similar deal they rejected before. Groupon needs to get back to the way it was and actually be there to help a business grow not put them out of business. Being at the company for over a year and a half I've seen it become increasingly greedy. As sales reps we now have to squeeze every penny out of merchants we work with and get paid half the commission to do so.
