Well, they’re hiring

Pros

They were hiring when no one else was.

Cons

Where to start? The pay is extremely low and commission is laughable. You’re worked to the bone to no return. The process is horrid, if you do make it out of what they call training, you’re still walking the plank every single week! This is the most unprofessional company I’ve worked in and I can see why people act the way they do: it’s allowed! If you have other options, take the other one! If it weren’t for the cruddy job market, Groupon would not have anyone willing to apply here!

Worst company I have ever worked for in 15 yrs

Business Outlook

Pros

None. You build relationships and trauma bond with people you start with, but that’s it.

Cons

Cons are endless: $40,000 pay They switch commission structure at their leisure to benefit the company and screw employees. The executive team are all Immigrants from Europe who don’t know what they are doing and are extremely rude. Barbara, CRO on the executive team is a terrible and rude person with terrible leadership. Limit the type of businesses you can work with. Racist and toxic office environment.

Disorganized for such a large entity

Pros

I love the product, the mission and supporting local merchants Highly values DEI in a very public manor Work life balance Flexibility Hybrid

Cons

Very disorganized since I started, which is so surprising as a large organization. Leaders are overseas and doesn't translate well in the states. Low base pay. High turnover. 3 days a week in office mandatory (which is pretty common and could be worse)
