Pros

Great experience. You'll make a ton of friends and professional connections. I had great managers during my time at the company. This job will show you how the sales process works and the possibilities available to you as a young sales professional. Happy Hours, company events, Bagel/Donut Thursdays. The CEOs are very personal and down to earth guys. If you're good on the phone or a natural sales person, you'll thrive in this environment. memoryBlue got me my next job, so I'm thankful for the time I spent there.

Cons

As the title says, this job isn't for everyone. If you're applying and interviewing here, I would try and figure out as much as possible what a real day in the life of an SDR is. Too often there are kids right out of college who have no idea what they're getting into which leads to a lot of turn over. Sales is not an easy profession but it does yield high rewards and opportunities. Your experience here will truly depend on what client you're assigned to. There will be those who get an easy account and are able to leave for the entire day, there are those on harder account that will come in early and late leave late but not be rewarded for the efforts, and there are those who just kind of get by and do enough to stay employed. Another issue that I have with the company is the managers are elevated from within. A lot of the time, they are not qualified for the position. I have seen several instances where a manager is the same age as his team members and had been at the company less time than his SDRs. How can you expect SDRs to show any respect or take managers seriously when just last week they were on the same client? Unfortunately, I've heard that a ton of managers have left the company, which left the company with more inexperienced managers than experienced managers. I was fortunate to have great managers that taught me a lot.

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.
