Pros

Great events for everyone. Casual dress and wonderful options for lunches.

Cons

Lied to about turnover rate during interview process, withing a month I learned I was the the 7th new person in that year. Managers talk about only money matters. But they insist on micromanaging even when your exceeding goals. Establish reps have great flexibility and able to basically manage their own hours. New reps are given burnt accounts, and expected to fix the mistakes senior reps made. Upper management stresses to care more about merchants while managers worry only about getting as much as possible and push the merchants to the limits. Also business model is nothing but diminishing returns, merchants wont run unless given larger margins and less Groupons are sold each time.

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
