Groupon reviews

- frequent layoffs in the last 5 years, and especially the last year, have led to much fewer employees doing the work of everyone that was let go or quit, resulting in constant scrambling to find who does what - company touts a "performance culture", but laid off numerous tenured, high performers which loses credibility of senior leadership - most promotions and leadership are now in INTL, losing hope for US employees - tools and products do not evolve with changing tech landscape

There aren't enough words that I can put here that will show how serious I am about the failings of Groupon Getaways. If you are thinking of applying, I am begging you to reconsider. There are other sales jobs in Chicago that will make you much happier. Firstly, we have had 9 people leave the floor in the last two months, including top leadership. Look at the public earnings reports and you can clearly correlate the two. People are no longer making anywhere what they used to, and the response from the team is to pivot the division to make us like an OTA (Online Travel Agent). We now have thousands of deals up on the site at once, with customer growth slowing (Another data point that can be found in the earnings reports). You can clearly understand why that doesnt make sense with a basic understanding of Supply/Demand economics. As a result, Commission payouts have slowed greatly, and your base is all you can rely on being paid out to you. The division has prioritized the needs of the business before its employees, and it shows. Actionable feedback from us hasn't been valued, and the steady decline of this division is now in a freefall. It's sad to see it. I've been on the floor for years. This place used to be a great way to grow and learn from. The decisions of leadership have ruined whatever promise we had left. Do not apply to Groupon Getaways.
