Pros

Working at Groupon as a Training Specialist has been a journey of self-reflection, growth, and continuous learning. It’s a place where you’re encouraged to explore your potential, bring creativity into your sessions, and take ownership of impactful learning experiences. The culture is collaborative and supportive, where team members are approachable, and feedback is constructive. I’ve had the opportunity to work across various projects, upskill in multiple domains, and contribute to process improvements - all of which have added to my professional growth.

Cons

However, career advancement can sometimes feel dependent on self-advocacy and visibility rather than a defined growth framework. A more structured internal mobility path would enhance clarity for those in learning and development roles. Also, some regional inconsistencies in processes can create challenges when delivering training at scale.

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.
