Pros

Nice people in the office. Everyone is motivated to work in technology sales and make money.

Cons

- MemoryBlue underpays you for your work. - Your clients are given very high expectations of what you will provide (over promising and under delivering is common) - Public humiliation for having "bad calls" is also common. - Too much micro managing. - Nobody in the office has technical experience so learning about the technologies that each client sells is almost impossible. - Jeanne can be 2-faced. - Stop with the 30 minute trainings every day. They are redundant and annoying.

MemoryBlue Response

Thank you for your anonymous feedback here on Glassdoor. We appreciate the Pros you’ve listed above and as well as your point of view regarding the Cons. Respectfully, regarding a few of your points, we have a few responses. First, memoryBlue has very high expectations of what our team will provide. We are a professional services firm and we do not exist without terrific sales delivery on behalf of our clients (and we’re growing, which is a very positive sign that our model is highly effective). But far from leaving our sales team on an island to deliver against our own high bar, we lean into the challenge and do everything we can to ensure success for all parties involved. Our sales training and coaching takes on a variety of forms and formats (live call coaching, regular 1x1 feedback sessions, staff trainings, self-paced training activities, and much more). Our sales managers roll up their sleeves and get in the mix because they have valuable knowledge that can help their teams improve. Sales is not easy, but with great coaching and ongoing experience, it can be extremely rewarding (as evidence by our hundreds of Alumni that have elevated on to positions of increased sales responsibility with some of the tech industry’s biggest names). We seek to develop a culture of continuous sales learning and skill building, while our clients reap the rewards and benefits of the culture we create. And ultimately, our employees add wildly marketable sales skills during their tenure with us that help them on a fast-track to lifelong sales career success (be it with us or the next stop on their journey). We hope your experience with memoryBlue improves in the coming weeks and months, as we are committed to helping every employee in every office realize their full sales potential. Co-Founders Chris and Marc have an open door policy, so please feel free to reach out and discuss your concerns directly with them any time, as well.

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.
