Pros

The coolest young teammates in the world changing e-commerce for the better. Everyday we inspire consumers to go explore their world. Company is incredibly democratic- you want to work harder for Groupon because of how nice they are to you. We get treated like royalty and they really care about making this the best place to work in Chicago. My fellow Grouponers are the most talented, amazing, creative people outside of Apple. Compensation structure in sales just got simplified, and WOW! Our earning potential is impressive. Also as compared in past sales jobs, at Groupon you have support throughout the process from a variety of teams so you can focus on delivering the best value to the consumer. The projects that Groupon is working on to evolve the company is revolutionary and it keeps getting better everyday. We might be getting bigger, but we still feel like it's a tech startup on the verge of a new revolution. Come join and be a part of the magic! (and the unlimited vacation time or happy hours doesn't hurt either!)

Cons

Compensation and commission structure was confusing at first but they keep working on it to make it easier to understand.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
