Pros

The culture is, at times, fun. And you will meet fun people. If you're looking to be a career frat/sorority, it can be entertaining, but not sustainable.

Cons

They'll lure you with a fun environment, then suck your soul dry. You will be mandated to work 12 hour days (regardless of the effectiveness). You will be trained to sell, but they will not invest any further in your career development. The metrics that sales people are held to are often mis-aligned, and as soon as you grow accustomed to them--they'll change. Toxic sales environment. When I left Groupon, there were 19 salespeople on my team. Now, 4 months later, only 4 of those people are still employed at Groupon. We gather to celebrate each time a new one quits. If you take a sales job hoping that it will turn into a Marketing Career....you are being mislead, along with 30%+ of your colleagues.

Pros

Learned a great deal here. My first big guy job and the responsibilities kept me focused and motivated. I grew a lot as a person at Groupon as well

Cons

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
