Pros

Great office atmosphere, fantastic management that cares about your professional development and career growth. Business model allows for rapid growth (typically SDRs are in a new position within 6-12 months, sometimes within 8 weeks). This is the ideal first tech sales position, especially if you are a recent grad or changing career paths. The training, transparency, and culture/networking opportunities are a formula for creating long-term success in the SaaS/High-tech sales ecosystem.

Cons

There is some luck involved in success; most clients are doable, but some are definitely better than others. Like all sales jobs the high highs comes with low lows. When you're having a good week you feel incredible, when you haven't booked in 10 days it can be difficult to maintain confidence and motivation.

Great Entry Level Job

Pros

Working for memoryBlue for close to a year now, you learn all the ins and outs of inside sales. As they emphasize during the interview process, it’s not an easy job. However, you usually play the most important role in your client’s business. It’s overwhelming at first, but if you produce, usually your client sticks around for a while. They recently updated the base salary to tenured SDRs, which is really awesome. You also really get to know the people you work with closely, assuming you stick around longer than a month or two. Most, not all, are recent college grads and this is either their first job coming out of school or first sales job. Finally, speaking with others, the work/life balance here is actually pretty good. You are never required to work weekends, and the ball is in your court to leave by 5:15 almost every day. Sales is a job that is based on other people’s schedules.

Cons

When I first started at mB, I was overwhelmed. Being my first sales job, I didn’t know what to expect and you learn so much so quickly. There are good days, and then there are really bad ones. The good ones make you feel like a million bucks, the bad make you feel like an idiot when sometimes it is out of your control. The base salary before you hit quota/tenure is somewhat low. You have little to no control over which clients you’ll be working with, so if you’re struggling on a campaign you will often be required to work harder than those who are frequent quota hitters.

Pros

Company culture is okay for the most part

Cons

If you are seriously interested in a sales career, you can make way more money as an SDR at another company. When you interview, you're told that the commission will make this job worthwhile, but the reality is that your experience at memoryBlue is completely dependent on the client you get. Get a great client and you can make some money and skate by under the radar, get a hard client and your life will be hell. The possibilities for advancement are enticing, but unfortunately it also leaves lots of mid-twenty year olds with no management experience in positions of power. Some are great, most are not and are more concerned with how to further their own careers.
