Blue Star Gas

What is the best part of working at the company?
As a family-owned company Blue Star can make decisions quickly and shift resources to follow-through as required to increase odds of success.  The ability to pivot quickly, and leverage support from other divisions is a strength.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing, beyond high expectations to excel in delivering quality and quantity,  which I have grown to expect and love to be a part of at any great company.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great, we have a lot of great people at all locations that are willing to help one another.  The leadership is supportive, and growth oriented.  There is certainly an appetite for early adoption and taking on new technologies and lines of business.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Days are filled 8a-5p engaging with the team, customers, and other partners.  We are constantly identifying and solving simple and complex customer needs, through a variety of products and services.   Generally speaking, it tends to be a little busier during the winter heating season, and a little less so in the summer.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Supervisor for McMinnville and Salem, Lee, is a great person with a high degree of integrity, and moral character. I worked for Lee For 4 years in Salem and McMinnville locations, and he was always fair with me, and honest. As far as all the places I have worked as a CDL, Hazmat Tanker truck driver, Blue Star Gas was the best overall. There is an opportunity for Overtime in the Winter months, and the pay is comparable to and competitive with other similar type business's. I enjoyed my time with Blue Star Gas, before my retirement in May of 2022.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Probably the most difficult, possibly stressful part of the job, was having to make all your deliveries in the time allotted each day in the busy Winter season, and the colder it was, the busier it got..

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture was good, Supervisor was good if you were punctual, and did your job to the best of your ability 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day was 7am to 5pm, with either 30 minutes or 1 hour lunch break around 12 noon

To be fair, it might be an entirely different picture in BSG's other locations. I wouldn't know. But in Seattle...

Tanks with faulty equipment were left to rot in the field for years. Trucks would teeter-totter in and out of service, and paperwork as simple as registration and insurance would be left to expire. Routing software that never worked was used as a club to beat drivers over the head with when deliveries weren't properly set up. Of course, if you'd asked one of the "team" members here, any of this would always be somebody else's responsibility. And strangely, employees were back-biting at management almost the whole time for a chance to take charge of this mess.

Because of all this, in just one year I witnessed BSG Seattle sales contract by a third and its workforce shrink by about 50%. To put it diplomatically, a negative review online is probably not going to make much of a difference as they will probably not be posting many job openings here in the near or distant future. 

I've worked in fast food where the pay was minimal and benefits non-existent. This was not the worst place to work that I've found. But it was without a doubt the most dysfunctional.

I’ve had a very positive experience working at Blue Star Gas. The culture here genuinely values people, not just numbers. Leadership is approachable, communication is open, and there’s a strong emphasis on teamwork and safety. Compared to larger companies, you don’t feel like just another employee — you feel respected and heard.

The work itself is meaningful because it directly impacts customers and the local community. There’s a real sense of pride in doing things the right way, taking care of customers, and looking out for one another. The environment is fast-paced at times, but it’s also supportive, and people are willing to help when challenges arise.

What I appreciate most is the family-oriented atmosphere and the integrity of the company. Blue Star Gas does a good job balancing operational expectations with understanding that employees have lives outside of work. Overall, it’s a place where you can grow, contribute, and feel good about the work you’re doing.

You want Micro Management well this is the place for you!! You like cameras watching you 24/7/365?? Then hire on here!! You will be watched by the Dispatcher and CEO, I'm talking direct livestream in cab. CEO also spouts his political beliefs in meetings like his is the only important view. They implement restrictive COVID rules yet when you voice a concern about going into a zone with a 9000 gallons of propane its all, " What do you want us to tell you to do?"ZERO support. 
I did learn a lot about propane do to the training. The training had no flow or rhythm to it.As a Bulk OTR driver knowing how to test and certify 35 pound propane tanks was not in my purview. Yet you had to pass those tests before you got to the CDL safety training, bulk plant training..... OHHH but hurry and do the 4 hours DIVERSITY harassment training NOW! "What you dont have time to do online training on your weekend?" 

You are expected to know details of a job that you were never trained on or you’ve only done once or twice in the entire time you’ve been there. Management all tells you different things so you never know the right thing to do and then get blamed later for things that they have no direct proof on. It was unfortunate that I worked with somebody who took charge to a painful point and I was unable to get a lot of experience on things that I was supposed to know. So when the times came that I had to do it alone I constantly made mistakes. 

I worked at Blue Star Gas for a couple years, and mostly stayed because the work was easy. Personally, I did not enjoy the experience very much and moved on to better things.

A lot of bad places to work have problems with management who will gush about their family drama and political beliefs at work, and Blue Star was no exception to this in my experience. It wasn't anything outrageous or anything, but it is very uncomfortable to see men in their fifties and sixties acting this way. Just not a good fit for me, I guess.

Blue Star Gas is a great family owned Company to work for. My position is located in Siskiyou county where decent paying jobs with benefits and advancement opportunities are limited. Blue Star Gas is one of the few employers in this area that offer all of that. I began employment with the company as a Service Technician. After a year of working hard and demonstrating my commitment to the company, I was promoted to a manager position. Blue Star Gas has provided my family and I with a happy and comfortable living. 

Everything is really clear working here - you have all the tools that you need to succeed and the timelines are very clear about what needs to happen and when. Within a month of working here, I was sent to an out of area training. I have a young child, so travel is difficult. They did everything under the sun to ensure I was gone for a very brief period of time. The management team are phenomenal. It really has become a family to me in the 2 months that I have been here. 

Blue Star Gas has been a great company to work for. They have a fantastic upper management team and concentrate on career development within the organization. They take every action to be sure that all team members are kept as safe as possible, every day. The company provides all training and works with each employee to achieve what is in their and their families best interest.
