Pros

I knew nothing about technology or sales when starting this job but have learned so much about internet of things, data storage, big data, and security from my peers and different clients in the office. Great culture! All my team members go out together after work and spend time on the weekends. We do different events like sharks games, themed Fridays, and can even earn Friday off when we are above our number.

Cons

The work can be really challenging. We are expected to make 100 dials a day and add 30 new names to our call lists. The training is more "on the job" than you'd expect from the interview process; you learn more from your peers and the daily activity than from formal class room education.

MemoryBlue Response

Thanks for providing your thoughtful feedback here on Glassdoor. The title of your post is highly accurate, and the best part is that we're paying you for this "higher sales education" achievement. We're very proud of the culture at memoryBlue and it's exciting to hear how much you like that aspect, too. Individuals that get their start with our company build lifelong peer networks, lasting friendships and rock solid sales skills. We've posted at length in other areas on Glassdoor about the varied and multi-faceted nature of the training we offer, so readers can go through this page for our response to that particular con listed here. But it should suffice to say training comes in a great many shapes and methods here at memoryBlue - some is certainly "on the job" but a great deal more is also done through other methods (routine all-hands training sessions, call review sessions, manager 1x1s and much more). We'll consider the advice you've provided above and review those areas to see if there's opportunity for future improvements. Thanks for the honest insight and overall response!

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.
