Groupon reviews

I don't know where these positive reviews are coming from because all anyone does here is complain. It used to fun and we had reasonable goals and managers seemed to care about developing their reps. With the restructuring all of this went away. The restructure was designed for reps to make less money. You get paid for 30 days when the algorithm is designed to sell deals only after 30 days (and actually barely does anything at all). You can control how much work you put in but you can't control how your deals will sell no matter how hard you try. Every quarter something new comes out to steal more money from merchants, because screwing over reps didn't earn the company enough money. Managers are hit or miss and are promoted based on favoritism not skill. It's impossible to make real money anymore because the best accounts are handed to the biggest reps. The product is stale and all merchants absolutely hate it. New initiatives have a lifespan of a year at most and then mysteriously disappear. I worked there for 3 years and the app still doesn't work! Maybe that'd be something good for them to work on....

Poor management, inexperienced staff (including management), low pay, lack of communication, forced happy work environment, unlimited sick and vacation days (lots of people don't use them, if you do use them, pressure from boss not to take too many, no pay out when laid off), low morale, lots of layoffs, angry customers, immature atmosphere in most departments (happens when younger employees a lot).
