Pros

-Culture: made some great connections otherwise none

Cons

Unattainable goals: sets unrealistic goals for its employees, leading to high levels of stress and burnout among staff members. Frequent changes in commission and goals: has a reputation for changing commission rates and sales goals frequently, often with little notice or explanation. It creates a sense of instability and uncertainty among employees. Poor working conditions: There have been reports of poor working conditions at Groupon, no support from upper management Lack of transparency: lack of transparency in its business practices, including its commission structure The base pay is a joke and not livable especially for a place like Chicago

Pros

Great wfh policy, interesting work

Cons

They literally rolled out tuition reimbursement JUST FOR Blacks/African Americans. Indigenous/Latin/disabled, etc - too bad. Wrong group - you get nothing. They have hiring quotas for various groups - Indian in marketing? Extra points. In Tech, no. Very ‘woke’ - but who decides what fair is? I understand what they are trying to do - but if you aren’t part of the special group, these *race based policies* feel awfully discriminatory... Also, people at Groupon fall into 2 categories. Their team, boss, and subordinates were laid off, and they are doing 5 jobs across 80 hour weeks. OR - they are fully checked out & looking at other options. This creates an environment where it very difficult to get things accomplished, and company results show it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We're happy you're enjoying the flexibility and find the work interesting, and also find it important to address your comments on the IMPACT program. At Groupon, we believe that a DEI program must be built upon an organization made up of individuals from various backgrounds, perspectives and experiences, including those who have been historically underrepresented. We are making the pursuit of Equity a central tenet of our DEI strategy. We recognize the racial gap in education and launched a new DEI programming initiative called IMPACT, aimed at delivering equity through education by creating opportunities for underrepresented and under-supported communities. This initiative was inspired, in part, by the Juneteenth Independence Day holiday and the fact that in the community at large, African American/Blacks have been historically underrepresented and disadvantaged in educational or other opportunities for advancement. In the future, we hope to build upon this progress and expand the initiative to include other historically underrepresented communities. This is just the beginning, we are humble enough to know that our work is never enough and this work will never end. We know we have a lot of work to do and that our global team will benefit as we move to integrate DEI into everything we do at Groupon and nurture a culture here that gives everyone an opportunity to thrive.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, fun people, cool Xmas party

Cons

A bunch of white males are running this sinking ship. As a woman it is extremely difficult to get promoted. Need way more diversity! I saw so many women get passed up on promotions that would have been amazing, and then go on to do amazing things. Groupon wouldn’t recognize talent if it slapped them upside the head.
