Pros

Not a whole lot. I used to think people posting on here are whiners but they’re all right. memoryBlue was equivalent to indentured servitude.

Cons

Horrible company. Chris Corcoran, one of the owners, is known to sexually harass women. He has been seen grabbing women on multiple occasions and is lucky that he has gotten away with it so far. I have personally witnessed him doing this. Most of Leadership reflect the attitudes of Chris in their behavior, (i.e. little regard for others, yell when you don’t get what you want, get angry at employees for performance issues without constructively working with them) because it is all they are taught to do. No work life balance here either. They only hire 20 year olds who couldn’t get hired anywhere else, encourage booze filled company trips, then expect everyone to act right. It might sound fun for a bit but it gets old really fast. My advice, look for a job elsewhere. It might take a little longer to grow into the role you want but it is better than being in a toxic environment where you are indebted to MemoryBlue (have to commit a minimum of 15 months). Many of my friends who have gone through the Rising Stars program have been promised they’ll get great AE roles and instead get stuck as an SDR. MemoryBlue’s real motto, “Grow with us or not at all.”

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.

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

*Honest review from a top performer* There are a few pros with working for memoryBlue: -If you are a top performer, you will be promoted to Senior SDR within 6-8 months -When you are promoted and if you continue to perform at a high level, I was able to take 2-3 days from home and only go into office 2-3 days a week - If I wasn't able to do this, I would've lost my mind (More in Cons) -Their training program is top tier, you do learn a lot especially if this is your first sales role

Cons

Here are Cons (These outweigh the Pros by far IMO): -BEFORE you accept a position at this company, realize that memoryBlue is going DOWN and just lost 500K in one month as well as got rid of their TOPS trip. Company is on a downward spiral with no future of getting better. -Your success is 90% decided by which campaign you get. If you get a bad campaign, trust me you will hate this company -Pay before being promoted to Senior / if you aren't performing (not hitting quota) is not good -You have to pay $12 a day for parking - like cmon paying to go to work is ridiculous -Management is not good lol. They promote SDRs who have done well for legit a few months and these SDRs have 0 idea how to manage people, especially in a terrible environment like this. Very few managers are actually decent -130 dials, 80 emails, and 30 LinkedIn touches per day + building out 30 names per day .... this is your day, that's it. This is terrible when you are tenured because you can get all this done in 3-4 hours so you're stuck twiddling your thumbs for hours when you have to work in office. -All in all, from a top performer, I would not recommend you get a job here it sucks and the path for growth is overpromised and not delivered in any way shape or form -MY ADVICE: If you want to get into tech sales, get a job with an actual company you can grow in. memoryBlue is a fake company that will not do much for you career and you have a much better chance of advancing in your career with an actual company and not a sales consulting firm (mB)
