TRAINING/ PROFESSIONAL GROWTH:

We train daily and we believe that we can all get better at what we do, no matter our level. Training can take the form of on-line courses or being sent out of state for professional classes and certifications. We have manufacturers representatives come to our office and give instruction on their specific products. Some of our technicians have been involved in discussion panels for a national organization.

TEAM BUILDING:

Although we spend at least 8 hours a day with each other, it is nice to connect from time to time outside of the work space. We have enjoyed many activities that bring our sense of family and community together such as Annual BBP surf day, Christmas party, Golden State Warrior games, Spartan Races, darts competition, pool championships and more.

COMMUNITY:

To the team at Big Blue, community is a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. It is being part of something bigger than yourself and a desire to give back. Our community starts with the people in our organization and spreads to their families and into the population around us. We look out for each other, help each other when it comes to moving house or getting a ride when the car is in the shop. Our families support us in our goals and we give back to our families with an annual family trip to the half moon bay pumpkin patch, the July 4th parade in Alameda where we enter a truck and the kids hand out candy and in turn we give back to the community around us. When fires ravaged Northern California, we loaded a truck with hay and delivered it to misplaced horses, we have raised money for a local high school program called Best Buddies and we have gathered together to collect trash on the local beach. The best part of these community activities is that they have all been at the suggestion of an employee.
