Pros

Old Bluechip staff were Family, amazing place to work, great culture, great feeling going to work, good pay, benefits, great managers(some of thee best) Brian built something that will never be replicated ever again in the IT business. It wasn't just work the relationship between Bluechip and Customer was again family, they trusted us more than some of there own employee's with the IT Kit

Cons

Since Service Express Aquired Bluechip, all they care about is making the quota by 2025, they have no problem getting rid of people who built the company up that they aquired, poor managers who don't know IT, or the role they are in, changing something that has worked for 35+yrs thinking they know better, ask anyone who has left will say the same thing.

Pros

Initially, we were promised the world. Showered with bonuses for a few months. Free T-shirts and fleeces... Christmas Hamper at Christmas. Increased salary - below average. Electric Cars! Continuous training....

Cons

Complete restructure of both the ICC and Bluechip Teams. Numerous, forced redundancies, reduced staff in core areas. Staff incentives removed : Broadband Supplement / Allowances If anyone challenges anything, their job is in jeopardy. Contractual changes to employment, complete ignorance of TUPE laws. TUPE laws bent and flaunted to suit SE's agenda - a lawyer would have a field day. Expanded sales in the reduced areas. without any due diligence - thereby stretching the Technical Field Teams. Existing and new clients cancelling, complaining about SLA's being breached. Call Staff / Technical teams advising that they are struggling, ignored. Antiquated Ticketing system preferred to more up to date option. Support staff, helpdesk staff competing with each other's offices. Two separate companies, working independently under SE banner. Sales driving the Engineering Team - never, ever a good thing. Poor leadership, not willing to listen to the people on the front line. Pitiful training opportunities, when you have a large workload.` Erratic salary structures for technical staff, and exorbitant salaries for failed Sales people. Bonuses lesser and lesser... one, after the other - despite other people making and achieving their goals. Mental Health and Wellbeing, this company is not for you, if these are important to you. End result Service Express are now having to contract Engineers to solve logistic/ location / experience issues - after all the redundancies. All because they thought it was saving money. And now went all the way back to the beginning. From what started as a promising company, full of promise and challenges - thanks to Ron's speeches. To what will be a floundering IT company, mismanaged, by people who should not have the title of 'Manager' and who have little or no experience in the I.T. Industry.

Pros

The teams actually doing the work are great, committed and fun to be with.

Cons

They don't value experience they only see the cost. I heard they put a sales director on a performance improvement plan for the sales results while he was off with Cancer. There is stress and strain in lots of areas where they cut staff numbers to look more profitable so they could sell the business. People have been off sick with stress. They brought into a managed services business and after over 2 years still have no clue how to run it other than into the ground. Utterly disappointing attitude to staff and impact poor management has on customers. changing how delivering maintenance services to automate and remove all specialisation
