Pros
Loved the product I was selling. Loved speaking with savvy business owners and reputable corporations on the daily. Working with the best of the best brands was exciting. I loved the challenge of earning their trust. Loved the work environment. Fun atmosphere. My colleagues made going into work everyday something to look forward to. I was constantly learning from and surrounded by the best of the best. I couldn't have been happier.
Cons
Not sure if this is a "Con", but, it was a little odd to be laid off a week after going on President's Club trip, closing one of the largest deals in 2016 while on maternity leave, and following my best year ever. Neither of my managers had any idea. It must have come from above. When I asked HR in my Exit Interview, " Why am I being let go? How do I explain this to future employers?" I was told, verbatim, "This is a 10% headcount reduction, and you are impacted." That was it. My 5.5 yrs at Groupon was over in the blink of an eye. I was devastated. I truly loved my job.
