Thank you for your feedback – it helps us to continually improve. We agree that there is room for improvement of communications within any company, and work at improving our own communications regularly. However we were surprised to hear you felt nepotism played a role in our work environment. Blue Technologies has experienced consistent growth since our inception, and with growth comes the opportunity to hire new people into the business. As such, we have established a robust, effective recruiting process that every applicant goes through to ensure we hire the best candidate for each job. Among our 200-person staff, that process has successfully qualified just 4 associates for employment with familial connections to company leadership. We were also surprised to hear of a disparity between male managers and female employees, as we are proud to have an even number of female managers to male managers. We take this comment seriously, and encourage any employee encountering a negative experience – gender-related or otherwise – to directly or anonymously communicate your feelings with HR to ensure your issues are appropriately addressed. Lastly, while we are sorry to hear you felt pay was on the low side, we strive to provide competitive compensation – which spans a rich benefits package, as well as wages paid. In fact, our benefits program has been shown to add as much as $10,000.00 to the value of the compensation plans we offer. From the very first month of employment, this package includes 401K with company match up to 4%, generous health care options, PTO, and opportunities for continuing education, among others. We sincerely hope all of our employees are happy at Blue Technologies, and welcome any feedback that helps us to continue building a work environment that is Committed to Excellence. For those who do not feel totally satisfied here, we wish them the best in their future endeavors.

Pros

The colleagues and team members at Blue Technologies are genuinely talented, hardworking, and collaborative. The people I worked alongside daily made the job worthwhile and were the primary reason I stayed as long as I did. There is a solid foundation of institutional knowledge among the staff, and the core copier business does provide some stability.

Cons

Leadership operates with a deeply entrenched, top-down mentality rooted in an outdated sales culture. Nepotism is prevalent at the executive level, which undermines meritocracy and morale across the organization. Compensation is below market rate with no meaningful bonus structure in place. The company has made a push into software and professional services but has fundamentally failed to understand that selling software requires an entirely different skill set, methodology, and sales culture than selling hardware. Sales staff are hired and managed as if they are selling copiers, and the results reflect that. Leadership's resistance to evolving beyond their comfort zone has created a ceiling on what this company can realistically achieve in its expansion efforts.
