    Good job work from home job, not much room for advancement

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    One of the few work from home jobs that doesn't require a landline and has a steady schedule.

    Cons

    Low turnover so it's difficult to get non-phone jobs, must work evenings, and the general stress that comes with working in a call center with high volume and angry customers.

    Flexible hours and the ability to work from home when needed Unlimited time off policy Free shuttle to office from many train lines, both Metra and CTA Great people who share Groupon's values Positive work environment and culture Tons of opportunities for internal advancement Focus on training opportunities Good perks and benefits overall

    Employees moved from one business unit to another may not be in the correct salary bracket and may need to work with new managers/HR to ensure fair compensation on new team

    Pros

    The flexibility and amazing work/life balance. I work from home and never feel that I bring my work home with me. Great benefits and an even better work culture.

    Cons

    Like most tech companies things are constantly changing and at times you have to adjust to those changes really quickly.

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Talent Development - Groupon does a phenomenal job of skilling you for your role. One of the most active engagement programs I have seen across corporates. Very clear communication around organizational expectation from the role. Active support from managers and peers alike to help you achieve your goals. Systems - Groupon has invested in building a great systems infrastructure that definitely gives your a productivity boost. If you are a millennial and want consumer grade apps to work with this is the place for you

    Cons

    Work Culture - Doesn't have the energy of a tech startup (...ish). Mainly because of massive inflexibility around work timings. No work from home policy and too much importance given to working from the office premises. Clearly some old school HR leadership is not helping attract or retain next gen talent. I witnessed some key position attrition purely because of archaic and inflexible work policies Pay - Significantly lower than major competitors

A huge thank you to #TeamGroupon for all of their contributions! 👏👏
