Pros
High level of expertise in colleagues. A great sense of camaraderie and coordination between the product, project, and programming. Great work-life balance. Just generally a nice place to work with really nice people. Oh, and free Fro-Yo!
Cons
None. Well, California is really expensive. But that's not Groupon's fault!
Advice to Management
Keep up the great work!

I have been working at Groupon full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Fun Culture, Uncapped Commissions, Competitions, Recognition

We are located in Phoenix and we are not based where the HQ is. It can be challenging in regards to growth and communication but our office is still great and fun!
Advice to Management
Continue to help and encourage reps who have goals in the company and help them with plans to get there!

Take care of employees and they will take care of you. Take a look at when the company was the fastest growing company ever and take note of how things were ran back then. Empower your employees to make decisions and implement processes.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Groupon full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
unlimited vacation
casual work environment
onboarding training and ongoing professional development
small company feel
variety of employee resource groups and volunteer opportunities
quarterly all hand meetings presented by Groupon senior leadership
excellent benefits
career progression opportunities + management opportunities for young professionals (see con below)Cons
lack of diversity in senior leadership
more WFH flexibility (this is a tech company after all)
management opportunities for young professionals (see pro above) attracts high performers but also people who may be inexperienced, unprofessional, or simply not cut out for managementAdvice to Management
Continue focusing on the big picture by building up the local economy, supporting young leadership, continuing to improve the Groupon product, and giving back - but don't lose sight of the individuals who make the company.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Groupon full-time (More than a year)
Pros
On-boarding training (although has changed since I started) was thorough. Dives into the psychological aspects behind sales etc.
Laid back, comfortable environment.Cons
First things first- Groupon’s product is losing value in the market. High-end, valuable businesses DO NOT want to work with Groupon.
Unstable, ever-shifting office/outlook/product. You really never know what is going to stay and/or change from month to month. Goals rolled out mid-quarter, comp plan changes EVERY SINGLE QUARTER. Consistency is not key in this office or company. Super lack of transparency from upper management and fake “drink the kool-aid” message. Fake fun culture.
HIGH turnover. You won’t make money here unless you are on TTD (things to do).
Management is solely past reps that sold well for a 4-5 month period and were promoted to manager based on that performance alone. Therefore micromanagement is high and actually being a coach to reps is low. Aka there is maybe one person to look up to in this office! Growth is SUPER limited.Advice to Management
Learn how to appeal and coach talent and not micromanage. Sales is supposed to be ran like our own business- we don’t need our hand held. Oh and making 100+ dials, learning how to dig through salesforce for low-hanging fruit doesn’t make you a great salesperson!

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Groupon full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Unlimited vacation, casual dress code, friendly and fun culture, and lots of opportunity for growth. I've worked here for two years and have always enjoyed coming to work.
Cons
Recent changes in VP of sales/the Phoenix office have made the job more difficult.
Advice to Management
Keep being supportive, don't make changes where changes aren't needed, need to reevaluate if the changes we've made recently are helping or hurting.
