Pros

Some of the best and brightest humans in the game exist at GroupOn. Can think of two members of the management team that I will remember positively, forever.

Cons

True meat grinder. KPI's are quite high: 100 to 120 calls per day. The physical structure of the room places reps on top of each other, ostensibly for enthusiasm. Initially had been told salary would be "X." Upon job offer, salary was substantially lower. Had a definite feel of bait and switch.

Pros

It truly is an enjoyable environment, and I made friends with a lot of my coworkers. They have drinks stocked readily. And you can't beat an unlimited vacation policy.

Cons

There is ZERO growth here. It's a great first job out of college, but they are slave drivers at time. Your bosses will micro-manage the heck out of you, so don't try to get on Facebook during company time. There is a lot of caddiness and clique-like feelings (especially with so many young employees), so prepare to feel like you're still in college. They also don't see fit to pay a decent wage. I had 2 promotions while here, and still made under $35k.

Pros

Truly fantastic coworkers in the beginning.

Cons

At first, this was a dream job. Fun, great people, and we truly tried to write great copy. Management was trying their best, but the company grew too fast and truly didn't know how to handle new hires or reward older writers that had been there for years. Soon it became a writing sweatshop, and the writing quality and specific humor meant nothing to higher ups. Creative writers were not given the new positions they deserved; only those that wrote bland, safe copy were given senior positions.
