Pros

memoryBlue is a solid place to get started in tech sales. Making cold calls is not for the faint-hearted, but memoryBlue has created a fun working environment where everyone is encouraged to succeed and learn from each other. I feel my manager genuinely cares about my success and is always there when I need him. You will learn a lot about different sales techniques and receive constant feedback on how you can improve. You also get exposure to different verticals in the tech industry, and I feel working here will be very marketable in the future.

Cons

My biggest complaint is how you don't get to choose your client and your success isn't necessarily up to you. While some employees might have an awesome client, with a supportive Account Executive, an easier territory/persona to call on, etc., others get stuck with a not-so-good one. It can be discouraging to watch people make 100-125%+ of their quota while I feel I can barely make 50% because of factors stacked against me. These are things you won't know before you accept employment at memoryBlue and is a risk everyone takes.

Thank you for your genuine feedback about our firm here on Glassdoor. We’re happy to hear that your experience has been positive during your tenure with us. We have worked hard to design an environment engineered to foster the personal and professional growth of our employees. Sales is not the easiest profession in the world, as you note, but it can be one of the most rewarding. It is fair to point out that every single client we work with comes with a slightly different set of circumstances, benefits and headwinds. That is why our culture is one that espouses the value of rewarding hard work and superior effort, while also taking time to celebrate successes in fun ways. Like most professional services firms, our business exists because we help our clients tackle tough, pressing needs in a seamless way. Meeting those needs while offering an engaging environment conducive to professional growth for our staff will continue to stay at the forefront of all that we do.

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.
