Pros

It’s not that bad if you are a straight, conservative, white male

Cons

Since they mostly higher people straight from college, they don’t treat people like respectable professionals. Everyone is micro managed and constantly being disrespected. The training is inconsistent, you will learn a technique during training, then upper management will tell you that what you learned was completely wrong and is the reason behind your failure. The compensation structure is poorly designed. Even if you are doing well and hitting quota the payout is minuscule. Management will lie to your face in order to benefit themselves. There is a lot of luck with doing well here, having a good client is the biggest thing, but even then the pay out isn’t usually worth it. The turn over is super high because the culture is terrible. It’s having young fellow coworkers hat sometimes become friends, but they don’t last long because it’s such a bad environment. It’s not worth it to come here, go anywhere else if oh have he option, or just wait a month or two and you will find another job right out of college.

MemoryBlue Response

Thank you for taking the time to post anonymous feedback on our Glassdoor page. memoryBlue is an incredibly committed equal opportunity employer. Fostering a diverse team and professional environment gives us a special culture – a culture where curiosity, tolerance, acceptance and increased knowledge through the sharing of different perspectives allows our team to grow and thrive both as professionals and individuals. It’s disappointing that you believe otherwise, but what you described is not an environment we condone or actively cultivate in the least. Regarding training, we have one of the most comprehensive training programs for individuals that are new to sales you will find in the marketplace. At memoryBlue, the SDR is the star of the show (as opposed to many other entry level sales roles, where the product is supposed to be the star and the SDR receives little to no sales technique training). The other complaints you list are a familiar sort found in almost every sales role – the job is tough and not for everyone, to be sure. But often times, people mistakenly believe successful sales pros are “lucky” to do well because they don’t see all the hard work being put in behind the scenes (extra mile work they themselves may not care to do). Turnover is high in sales (especially entry level sales) due to two reasons: the best of the best elevate quickly because demand is so high for their solid skills or those who decide the rigorous career sales path (where you get out exactly what you put in) isn’t for them. Both reasons are understandable and valid. If you do choose to stay in sales, we wish you nothing but the best as you continue forward.

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.
