Pros
Your co-workers will be pretty awesome.
Cons
Other than your colleagues and the dress code nearly everything else here will quickly turn into a liability for your career. If you are like most others in Editorial you will have recently graduated with a degree in a creative field. During your first days at Groupon much will be made about how many opportunities there will be to use your degree and your imagination. Within a few weeks you will see how this is not the case. Salespeople in the end have license to nix anything that strikes them as unconventional. Most of the best creative work here gets eliminated. Nearly everyone in Editorial is looking for a way to leave for something else. The reasons for this are threefold: (1) You've no real ops here to flex creative muscle. (2) The compensation is miserable. Yes, the benefits are on the upper end of standard, but the paychecks are below market rate. (3) There is almost no path to advance within the company....more on that in the next paragraph. New recruits are frequently told how many current managers were in their lesser positions for only a few months to a year before being promoted. While this is true it is more a function of circumstances that no longer exist within the company. Most in editorial who have been around for any length of time have stagnated in their position. Every few months or so upper management promises new career ops but those are quickly taken away for a variety of reasons related to disorganization. That final point is probably the most important. Groupon suffers from a debilitating disorganization that isn't going anywhere fast. There is a large internal bureaucracy that stubbornly resists efficiency. Overall if you need something to pass a few months of your time while making your way onto the next thing this is an okay place to stop. If you're more determined in your career choices though, you will want to look elsewhere.
