Pros

-Young coworkers and a good amount of work social events, so there is plenty of fun to be had. -You will gain lots of sales experience in a short period of time. -If you have a good client you will see lots of success and a good chunk of money. -Some of the managers are really great people who will help you out a lot. -Just moved to a new office. -Co-founders are cool people. -Good potential for advancement/you can get hired out by your client(s) to very interesting roles -Monthly raise and bonus opportunities

Cons

-Bad clients can be difficult and frustrating -Some aspects of the company are not fair (ie. people with easy clients aren't always given higher quotas so they disproportionately win competitive bonuses) -the company sets goals that are often much higher then client expectations, so a completely satisfied client does not mean you will be making more money. -Work can be tedious. -Some of the less experienced or overly competitive managers can make your life very difficult. -IT problems are somewhat common. TL;DR: I am enjoying my time here, but I have a good client and a good manager. I know people without those aspects who are struggling. However, most people are happy, and many people have used the company to jump start very successful careers in sales. The pay is also solid for an entry level position.

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.

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.
