Pros

-No cap on vacation or sick days (although you will be made to feel guilty when you take it) -Can make good money if you are lucky enough to be placed in a decent market (although all markets are going downhill)

Cons

-Immense pressure to hit unrealistic sales goals -Management out of touch with what's going on during phone calls (it's getting harder and harder to close deals as more and more people don't want to work with Groupon) -Used to be a fun culture. Now it's all about the bottom line and feels like your typical call center -Sales staff are worked to the bone

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
