Pros

Instead of pros and cons let's take it as present and past- Groupon was too good when I joined there during 2014. Work place, Work culture, Less pressure. Only email process communication to customers. Good salary. Best incentives around the market.During past too it had some disadvantages as night shifts and weekend work. Politics in high level management was there in Groupon always. Fit for nothing people works as QA's.

Cons

Now it is definitely not anymore a good company. Literally a BPO with a cost cutting factor as their main motive and such the blood of employees.Change of high level management. Firing out employees who work hard and intake new employees from sutherland with lesser salary is their new technique from August 2016. From November 2015 company became worst after chat process became their majority motive. To earn and to give is the best company's practices. But Groupon's is To earn and To save from employee's too. High work pressure now but salary is same.

Pros

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Cons

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
