Pros

Working with incredible merchants and co-workers towards a common goal of bringing in new customers and more money to local businesses. Fun watching deals take off. Groupon is a fun quirky company. If you are able to close a lot of great deals, you will be compensated.

Cons

Unrealistic profit goals - the better you do, the crazier your goals get. Every quarter you are expected to exceed what was done before and with mostly NEW businesses. The cold calling is rough. A lot of merchants are over Groupon. And once you do get a deal signed up, there is a lot of drama before, during and after.

Pros

I enjoy that I can work from home. I am able to have a good work-life balance.

Cons

The cons are growing by the week. 1. They will micro manage you until they know what time you are going to the bathroom each day. 2. Deals are not selling = you are not making money 3. You are not allowed to have an outside opinion regarding anything and will be told that you will be "let go" if you do not conform to the "yes ma'am" mentality they require.
