WORST place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

vacation policy can be great but be careful it comes at a price, can only take advantage if you hit your numbers, relaxed dress code, and its close to Target... other than that there are no positives.

Cons

There are not very many positives, management does not care about employees, everyone is just a work horse at this coupon sweatshop. Product is subpar and most merchants hate working with Groupon. This company will chew you up, spit you out within the blink of an eye.

Flaw in the system...

Merchant development representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Casual work environment, unlimited vacation time, youthful culture, endless La Croix and coffee to sip on, nice office space near public transit.

Cons

Office politics reign supreme. Poorly established standard operating infrastructure, immature managers, cliquey behavior which feels very "freshman year." Little opportunity for actual career growth, low pay compared to industry standards. If you're over 30, you don't want to waste your time here. A lot of mistrust between leadership and employees. When something shady happens you get a "high level" explanation instead of a "deeper dive" into the issue. Everything and anything can be written off as "a flaw in the system."
