Pros

Loved the clients, the opportunity to get hired out, and the environment in the Austin office while I was there. My manager worked well with me and was flexible, but each individual will have a different experience at MemoryBlue. You will be given chances. In all likelihood you will be able to find success if you work hard.

Cons

Did not always correctly assign qoutas. I had an instances where I was on pace to exceed all my goals by 10%, but during the third week of that month my qouta was adjusted up to an unattainable height. I addressed the issue with my manager, but he said there was nothing he could do. Many people have issues with attaining their commission, while others, depending on the client, are not ever able to make bonuses. Lastly, some regional offices (Austin at times), struggled to find clients over a 3-6 month period. Demand for services was fluctuating and resulting in lay-offs to staff below quota during that time.

Thanks for taking time to post your feedback here on Glassdoor. We appreciate your insights and will take your suggestions for improvements seriously. One thing we should point out is that we do continually work to keep our office experiences extremely similar across our three locations (DC/TX/CA), while also allowing the Managing Directors flexibility to balance that goal with an obvious need to maintain their own unique local culture. The Austin office in particular constantly receives accolades from employees and clients alike for the sensational office culture and team commitment found there. Our organizational structure and sales processes remain inextricably connected and in sync between all of our offices, but some minor differences will also happen organically. With respect to the demand for our services, while this can be cyclical (as it is for all businesses), we’re currently experiencing a strong level of client growth across all of our offices including Austin. And we always fight as hard as we can to avoid any need for downsizing. Any employee separations that may have occurred during your time with us would have been vastly more related to consistently poor and unimproved individual performance versus having anything to do with client acquisition/retention. Lastly, “tough” clients and “hard to hit” quotas are comments that come up on Glassdoor periodically for all sales-oriented organizations. While we’ve addressed those things at length in other responses on this page, suffice to say that memoryBlue is constantly committed to always executing fair sales quota and bonus practices and full transparency as to how these metrics are set throughout all of our offices.

Pros

- Good Sales Training - Good Company Culture, Everyone wants to learn and help - Good Managers will be able to provide great coaching to help further grow your skills

Cons

- Your success is highly dependent on what client they give you. If they give you a hard client, do not expect to see those bonuses come in frequently. - Managers are also another luck of the draw. Started off with a great manager, who'd always be willing to help and coach. But then transitioned to another manager who was about my age, not very competent at coaching or advice since he had only been on an easy client for 6 months before being promoted, and would micromanage the team very hard. If you get a bad manager + a hard client, you will not have a good time at memoryBlue since they are already expecting you to work hard. - Pay and the bonuses are very low. Whether or not you'll see a raise is dependent on what client you get whether since it's based on hitting quota an X amount of times.
