Pros

What's good about Groupon is its fairly casual and international atmosphere. Plus there's free breakfast and coffee.

Cons

There's no job security and there were numerous mass lay-offs during my time there. The company seems to have double standards, one thing promised one day will be of no value the next day. There are barely any career opportunities but unfortunately a lot of ingrained nepotism.

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
