Pros

Fun if you are out of college and good experience to throw on the resume as a "first career job"

Cons

In terms of sales reps, It's really turned into a chop shop. The business model isn't new any more, the market is saturated with competition, etc. It used to be a fun, close-knit community, now employees are utterly expendable. Unless you're fresh out of college and looking to get your foot in the door, run

Learned a great deal here. My first big guy job and the responsibilities kept me focused and motivated. I grew a lot as a person at Groupon as well

Cons

Not many cons. People are really cool.

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
