      Great... if they like you

      Pros

      -If you're in their "favorites" you tend to do well. Or if you luck out by being given an easy client. Not all clients are created equal, and often have unrealistic expectations. -Good gateway sales gig, easy enough to get hired -I had a good clients at first, so things went well for me -Can have great opportunities, but completely dependent on client

      Cons

      -Management can often be petty, and blatant favoritism is shown -Often top performers aren't necessarily the hardest working, just on the best accounts -Watched them actively screw over multiple veteran employees from getting positions they deserved for both in-house and clients -Saw them try and screw people out of bonuses CONSTANTLY, after the end of the month changing quoting (happened at least 3 times in the time I was there)

      Pros

      This company is an excellent start for many young professionals trying to make a break into the high-tech sales industry. They challenge you and management is very reasonable with expectations so long as you try your best and are open to suggestions and have a learning mindset while working there. Excellent training and awesome culture here as well. I've made genuine friends while working here and look forward to keeping in touch with everyone from my fellow SDR's to the Co-founders down the road in the future. As long as you come in here ready to work and learn for the most part you should be able to thrive here.

      Cons

      Not too much to be completely honest. If anything, I believe that memoryBlue should take the liberty to be a little more selective in their process and try to ensure that the new hires they are taking on are FULLY ONBOARD with the idea that this will be a CHALLENGE. I get the feeling that some of the people who may have not enjoyed their time here as much did not fully understand that this job was supposed to be a challenge so that you are fully ready for whatever challenges you may encounter in the high-tech industry. It isn't always pretty and I definitely had my share of down times as well, but it came with the understanding that this will ultimately prepare me for whatever next step I take down the road.

      Pros

      - Company culture with everyone around the same age. Your relationship with your mentor/DM/team is really what makes working here fun - Good first move out of school if you don't 100% know what you're doing. They give you 15 months in the job (I hear you can stay longer, but most people are ready for the next step) before you're set-up for the next opportunity and literally encourage you to get to the next step of your career - Clients can hire you out if you like them and they like you - Training is hands-on and straight forward. Some find it more valuable than others but it's helpful to get guidance on the job from the get-go - Being able to go to = recruiting events like Career Fairs and Happy Hours. These are actually fun - Competitions between teams/offices - Field Day, Booze Cruise, Nats games, Caps games, intramural teams (kickball, basketball, softball) Christmas parties, company/team happy hours are a blast - Can get Friday's off if you are hitting your numbers - You are always working towards something. The job is tough but with the experience you'd gain here you will 100% land a much better/higher paying position - They are paying $100/month of my student loans!!! Plus they offer pet insurance

      Cons

      If the wrong person is hired for the job they hate it here, and hate it hard. It makes me sad to see the negative reviews from people who just weren't a fit. This position is really a "big picture" opportunity - it's entry-level sales and it's meant to help set you up for something better. Also, cold-calling isn't fun, but most sales/staffing jobs that are entry-level will have you making calls. That's just a fact. This is something they talk about in the interview process though, so people that complain about the calling on here knew what they were getting themselves into when they accepted the job. It's not that hard.

      Thank you for taking the time to post a review here on Glassdoor. Your experience and insights above are in sync with what we've built at memoryBlue. Sales certainly isn't for everyone, and you're right, people that dislike the career path will be unhappy in it (as with anything). The basics in sales are tough, but the basics work. And these fundamental skills you build at memoryBlue will pay off in a big way as your sales career unfolds. One final word regarding culture advice - every office has an internal culture club comprised of all manner of current employees (SDRs, management, sales ops team members, etc). Please come join the regular Tuesday planning meetings in the Tysons office - we would love your input!
