Pros

The training is tough and so is the job overall. It will take your sales game to another level. So use the company as a stepping stone to your next b2b job, but don't stay there and let them abuse you and stress you to death.

Cons

Disgusting level of politics/sexism, employees sleeping with each other etc., all that kinda mess. Rumor mill is always full there. There's more focus on drama than on doing actual work. Very stressful as a sales rep, hounding management with little or poor guidance. All the lies of "unlimited potential". Things are very limited as far as deals and money. Making a deal on their copiers takes a ridiculous amount of time and energy for such low commission. Literally you'll spend 20 hours driving, on the phone, sending emails, and have the notion of receiving a couple thousand dollars of commission on a machine you worked so hard to sell, but then to make a deal the management (without the reps permission) will slash the deal down so far that you won't make hardly any commission. It's so disheartening and demotivating it made me sick. The overall environment there is just weird. There was literally an email sent out about employees forgetting to flush the toilets, I mean, that's just weird. Who has time to write about stuff like that?

Thank you for your feedback. It pleases us that you recognize our training and sales process is World Class. We also agree and recognize that sales is a tough profession and this industry is no exception. We are not surprised to hear that rumors exist within our organization – it is something that most companies experience. We hope you shared this information with your manager while employed, in addition to, sharing your personal opinions and feelings during your exit interview so that they could be further explored. Last, we are very happy to confirm that every sales compensation program literally has “zero ceiling”, therefore, all sales opportunities have unlimited potential. We wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavors and thank you for your past performance.

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.
