Pros

This is such a great company to work for! They give you so many opportunities to move up within the company, and will seriously do everything they possibly can for you to do well. The people here are very friendly too, I made a lot of friends instantly. It makes the days go by quickly! Very social, very young company. And as far as the whole sales thing goes, it's really fun. Even if you get a "crappy" person on the phone, worst case scenario you bumble through the phone call and laugh (or cry) about it afterward with your teammates. We're all going through the same thing, so it's really fun to encourage one another. Great thing is that the sales reps here are extremely positive people with a can-do attitude. There's such great energy here! Awesome work-life balance. You can do 9-5 and be a top sales rep within the company, no problem. Some people like to put in those extra hours too though.

Cons

You have a headset and are on the phones all day. So, it's not 100% the most glamorous sales job. But if you've done sales before and thought it was fun, you'll like this job.

Pros

You’ll gain a newfound appreciation for life the moment you walk out the door.

Cons

Working at Groupon was, without exaggeration, one of the most dehumanizing experiences of my professional life. What began as a “let’s roll up our sleeves and save this sinking ship” mentality quickly turned into a draining, existential crisis. The company’s hiring strategy appears to prioritize candidates who may not be the strongest fit for the role, but who share one defining trait: a willingness to work like mercenaries. From there, employees are kept engaged through an ever shifting carrot of incentives that never quite materialize, sustained by an unpredictable sense of stakes that makes the environment feel perpetually unstable. The result is a culture where people spend more energy competing for survival and proving their worth than doing meaningful work. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place is run by aspiring LinkedIn influencers who got one shot in their careers and care more about how it’ll read on their resume than about actually leading. The salary, the office views, and the “unlimited” PTO (you’ll still be working while you’re off, since you’re doing the job of four people from day one) don’t come close to offsetting the toxicity radiating from the top of this perpetually sinking ship.
