Avoid if you value integrity - Recensione dipendente - IT Support Engineer presso Bluecube Technology Solutions

Working at Bluecube has been sixteen months of people lying to my face about what the job is and what they will offer me as an employee. It took six months after I was hired for them to finally give me the health insurance they had promised me on my offer letter (the offer letter says "Benefits eligibility begins the first day of employment."). When I finally got the insurance plan, it was this terrible $1200 a month scam of a plan. My family is still struggling to deal with the financial fallout from this. It took TEN months for Bluecube to pay me the salary they agreed to on my offer letter, even though it says "upon completion of your 90-day probationary period". After months of leading me on, they finally adjusted my pay and said they would put together some retro pay to make up for the "mistake", but the retro pay was woefully under-calculated when I finally got it. I've given up trying to get the rest of the money I'm owed. After sixteen months, I'm now being told "Bluecube doesn't give people raises. Ever." If you want a pay increase, you need to brown-nose your way into a "promotion". You can probably figure out for yourself how this culture of cronyism affects the quality of leadership at the company. After a while, I realized this is pretty much standard operating procedure for Bluecube. Everything they promise turns out to be something you have to badger them about, then they would half-deliver on what they said they would do. They even sent me to work jobs on remote sites, then I have to fight with them to get reimbursed for travel expenses when I get back from the job. It's not just me, a coworker said they denied his reimbursement request for tolls he had to pay on the way to a job site saying "we don't normally reimburse tolls". They don't just lie to their employees of course--they also lie to their clients. As an extreme example of this, they sent me on site to a client in New York once and told me not to let them find out I work in Boston. "If anyone asks, just say we have a New York office." When I explained I am not comfortable with lying to people like that, they amended my script to some half-truth like "I flew in from Boston because a New York engineer wasn't available at the time" or something like that. I ended up just not discussing office locations with the client at all--just quietly did the work and left. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when they encouraged me to go for the CompTIA Network+ certification, explaining it will be good for my career and they will pay the money for the exam. I studied for the exam for two months, on my own free time. I have two kids at home so often the only time I would have to study would be on my lunch break at work. When I was finally ready I took the test and passed. It cost me $350 to sit the exam. Afterward, Bluecube denied my reimbursement request and said they decided they aren't going to pay for these exams anymore. I'm actively looking for something else now, enough is enough. If you value integrity from your employer, I suggest you look elsewhere as well.
