Groupon reviews

I was so proud to say that I work here at first. They say you get unlimited time off but that's not even close. The daily deal business has so many competitors now. As a sales person you are going into markets where merchants are so sick of getting calls from Groupon and its competitors. In training, they will sell you on how cool the company is and it is cool but if you are going into sales it is HORRIBLE! Slowly turning into a boiler room atmosphere with live updates on how many calls you have made. No longer can take a consultative approach but rather squeeze every last dollar out of merchants. Truth is, if you go into sales you're stuck there. There are a lot of young people there with no management experience and majored in subjects like philosophy. The divisional sales managers are arrogant and just sit on g chat all day acting like they are so busy but really aren't. They sold Groupon when it was so easy to sell. You're not selling anything, you're begging merchants to work with Groupon. Out of the 800 salespeople you will probably find about 5% who are actually happy to be selling for Groupon.

Micro Management. Not treated as an adult. No home work life balance. No vacation policy which has translated into Managers not giving or 'allowing' time to be taken. No upward mobility. Compensation is not comparable for location. Management is il trained with little experience and little professionalism. Management has poor time management which results in the employees scrambling. If you come to work here you will be 'sold a bridge' as they say. Do not take the salary cut for the opportunity, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!
