Pros

Work from home. Good base salery

Cons

Complete disconnect between management and Outside Sales. Management knows nothing about your city and doesn't care Managers are not qualified to have the position. Chicago office run like a frat house with drinking and partying on fridays Company does not care about clients just about Groupon Sales, even if it causes the client/business to suffer or even go out of business

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
