As far as management goes, it was ok. I basically had 3 bosses and 2 of them were cool and the head boss was indifferent to say the least. The job had good pay (I was making about $500 a week), but the hours were ridiculous (11 hours on a normal day and 14+ during Q3, 5 days a week) and they would get very angry if you tried to adjust your schedule in any way. 

The system they use to rate how well employees are working is completely unfair and is based on where you get placed in the warehouse. For example, they count how many items you pick per hour and if you're in a region with lots of small parts, you're good to go, but if you're in a region with mainly 45-80lbs printers you're pretty much screwed on your numbers even though you'll be working twice as hard.

Besides the pay, the only other pro used to be that you could listen to music while working, but they took that away because of a very stupid situation, so now you just have to work in silence while talking/listening to a very annoying headset computer. Its enough to drive anyone insane.

Was hired to help them for a few months during busy season. Became familiar with detailed use of Oracle. The management and co-workers were excellent. The hardest part of this job was the high volume of orders that needed to be processed as their business model hinges on getting these shipped as fast as possible. 

Interesting experience for me, but my background and professional goals are geared toward outside sales and solution consultation.

wake up at 8 am and go to work. i start at 9 am and i get signed into my gear and go picking in the warehouse. i worked in the heaviest region and had to pick 100 orders a hour, which is hard to do with a bunch of heavy product. did that till 8 pm and bathroom breaks you cant take really at all because they think your slacking and not doing you job, or taking your full 15 min break was to long so your break is actually 10 min. the most enjoyable part was the short talks with other employees

Stay away if you are not a part of the friends and family program. Hard work will get you no where with these people. I spent years watching management walk up to workers on payday and tell them they were no longer needed and no reason was provided only the statement that Bluestar is an at will employer. I can find 10 people right now that will back me up on this. Too many alcoholics, we once had beer on tap in the warehouse for weeks!!!

Bluestart is an exciting company to work at. My typical day was to help the internal and external customers in selling HP Servers. I learned to be a valued resource to all and learned to train over 65 people at ease.

Management was great. They always had the best interest of the employee as well as to the bottom line.

The most enjoyable part of the job was going there everyday knowing there will be a new challenge.

Great company. Even though they are a large company it felt like a family atmosphere when in the office.
Typical day would include being at your desk calling potential customers along with maintaining your current customer base. About 3 times a week our vendors would come in for training to keep the sales team up to date with current products.

Someting is obviously wrong when a company forces its employees to sometimes work 15 hours a day when the job is advertised as "8 hour shift with occasional overtime". Granted most days aren't 15 hours but the week will look something like this. 13, 12, 12, 12, 11. This company turns a blind eye to most issues as long as their product gets out. No concern for your life outside of work

You can wear jeans it's laid-back the main office director he is great coworkers are great management she has to learn better people skills.
You're rewarded for a job well done by the director you have a Christmas party we do potlucks the work environment can be friendly you have to make 200 calls a day overall it's a decent job

office was located in a hot warehouse in the Summer and cold in the Winter. my job went unnoticed and I was never treated as part of the company because my job did not contribute to the success of the growth of the Company I issued credits and refunds for product our Customers were not happy with. always felt like an outsider and unappreciated

Coworker are great, there’s a lot of amazing people who work here. However, there isn’t a whole lot of room for growth. In Marketing, management shoots down ideas, because it’s all based on what manufacturers pay. Not necessarily management’s fault, it’s just the way the channel is set up. Kind of like if a grocery store refuses to stock an amazing up and coming brand, because they can’t afford to pay for space on the shelf.
