BlueCrest

Bluecrest/Pitney Bowes was once a great company.  Management supported their team, HR was fair and was very helpful to employees, and the culture and moral were high.  But in the last 20 years, raises are almost non-existent and do not even keep up with the cost of living.  The good managers have left or were pushed out leaving terrible local management who care nothing about their employees, the employees family lives/needs/schedules.  The company will tell you on a Friday that starting Monday you are at another location/shift with no input or discussion from you.  In the past there was very little turnover and many employees with 25 - 40 years with the company.  Now most of them have left disgusted wishing they hadn't devoted a good bit of their lives to this unappreciative company.  

Each day I get out there and keep companies production flowing, either by fixing broken components, or assisting the operators to adjust the machine to work at peak performance. I have trained knowledge in 4 different machine configurations, all supplied by Bluecrest. Our specialist and managers are all supportive and will take our calls for any needs. The hardest part of my job is getting stuck in an issue, which the team is available to help, or paperwork. The best part is the clients when we repair something and get them up and running again. Solving a mechanical puzzle on my own is very rewarding and adds to my contribution to the team. 

All jobs are onsite with Bluecrest's contracted customers.  The customers may have a poor understanding of what the machines can or cannot do, which is reflected in their perception of Bluecrest's performance.  Onsite staff have to be very careful and diplomatic in conveying the difference between the customer's perception and Bluecrest's reality, and doing so is unlikely to change the customer's opinion.  Ultimately,  the client, not Bluecrest, has say over whether a Bluecrest employee is authorized onsite.  

Bluecrest, Inc. is on the decline, I doubt they will be in business by the end of the year.  They are top heavy in incompetent management. Management goes round and round in circles trying to figure out how to move ahead - they are failing. It took three months to complete an inventory earlier this year I understand they will do another in July. They have started layoffs, the workers first. If they parted with half of their management they may have a chance at survival.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Bluecrest Inc. is the best company I have EVER worked for...
They have accommodated to me beyond expectations. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing! It's a team who works together as a team must do.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Awesome with a family perception as business must be conducted. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast pace as well as laid back.

Too much blame game. Push people to the limit with no reward. Management team too many changes. No clear direction. Little focus on keeping a positive environment with those on the front line

Stay Away.  This company is on the down hill side of corporate life.  The private equity fund that owns it will be lucky to walk away with it's shirt. Layers and layers of incompetent management .  A Lackluster CEO.  Very few actual workers left in Danbury, they shipped a lot of office  jobs out of the country.  Pay is a joke, benefits are minimal, HR is useless.

Job is overwhelming, if you like to run and never caught up, stress around every corner, then this job is for you!  Pay is the real reason I am upset with this company.  Before Covid it was average, now they are at the bottom with what they offer. Raises are awful if you get one. The are not taking care of there people at all,   

Blue Crest is a former Pitney Bowes division, it has less than 2000 employees worldwide, however it stall acts as if it has 50,000 employees, so lots of stupid bureaucracy.  

It also suffer from being penny wise and pound foolish.  Be sure to negotiate a big salary up front, because you will most like never get a raise above 3%. 

It does have good work/life balance and the people are great.

BlueCrest is an offshoot of Pitney Bowes. The company is starting to establish its own policies and vendors. After 2 years of being independent, the company is still in its infancy. Stuffing envelopes and sorting packages is its lifeblood in an industry in decline. Outside people are being hired instead of promoting from within.
