Groupon reviews

run like a concentration camp

After working at Groupon for about a year, it's difficult to see the long term agenda for this company. I've read a lot of reviews on Glassdoor and unfortunately the negative reviews are, for the most part, accurate with my experience here (for inside sales reps). It was almost a running joke to learn each week who had quit or been fired from an inside sales position. The monthly quotas are set very high and difficult to obtain, especially for small markets who also make the least in commission because of units sold. Most of the time during my calls I was told to take a hike or f-off and to never call back again. And my job was to wait a small period of time and call again. And we would get questioned when the businesses we sign up call and ask to be removed or "paused" because of how many vouchers they've sold...since Groupon wants to keep businesses on their site forever. I knew it was an inside sales position but this was like twisting arms, pulling teeth, and going to war with people on the phone everyday - - hence the very high turnover rate (and why Groupon is always hiring). My advice? If you decide to take this job, do it for no more than a year and move on.
