Pros

Coworkers are good people who are hard working. The idea/vision of the company is good. Good starting place IF you are strong willed and get blessed with a good client. If you put your head down and work hard, you will succeed. The vision of memoryBlue is strong, by offering to inside sales support Silicon Valley companies. The location of the San Jose office is directly downtown. There are fun company outings such as happy hour or dinner events. Competitive pay!

Cons

Extremely poor execution of vision and management. Management will tell you manipulative things. I've seen management conduct very unethical with peers. Cut of salary by 50%, lying about current employment status, not following ethical standards, demanding X amount of dollars if you decide to leave the company, threatening employees that clients do not like them, telling employees to walk out the door.

Thanks for taking time to post candid feedback here on Glassdoor. We appreciate your positive sentiments and will 100% take your not-so-positive comments seriously. Here are a few notes about things you mentioned in your review. We would slightly edit your headline to read, “If you’re mentally strong, take a job in sales.” You nail it with the idea that sales is not the easiest profession in the world, but we do believe the hard work and effort is extremely worth it (and highly lucrative in the case of high tech sales). And we would also take strong exception to your allegations of any unethical wrong-doing or improper/threatening behavior. That said, our owners have a firm “open door” policy and would welcome a direct call or discussion in-person on any of these matters. We’ve been in business for 15+ years and continue to scale this business rapidly thanks to our steadfast commitment to inside sales success for all of our clients and employees alike. We didn’t get that way or attract top talent to fill these needs by making habit or policy out of the things you allege above. We’re proud of our hiring practice even as we’ve expanded our operations these last several years. Fitting into that picture in a big way is our Silicon Valley (San Jose) office. As the most recently opened of our locations, we remain firmly committed to its success and will continue to invest and build it up as the years progress. Thank you for your comments supporting our vision – and we’ll take to heart your advice and feedback. Best of luck as you continue your sales career journey.

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.
