Pros

A good stepping stone for project management

Cons

Leaders are power trippers! They'd find faults and dwell in them and kick you out after they take the best of you. Put you on so much workload, find a loophole so you don't bonus - a common tactic of the leaders is to put up gatekeepers like attendance, or whatever they can find on you just so you don't get to enjoy your hard-earned bonus for 3 months. They push you to do so much at their pace, but when the payout comes... they delay it so much to find faults first and then disqualify you. Gone is your quarter's worth of hard work. Promotion is a play to keep people - a retention offer. Compensation isn't fair - you're paid just the same regardless if your working for a Triple-A account or C account. Toxic environment - managers are micromanaging. The annual increase is measly and laughable. Most of all... no work-life balance, and yet they claim "We're a family"

Pros

It seemed as though the company was run by a 21 year old. Lots of fun work parties/events. Free unlimited food/drinks at the events. All the departments go all out for Halloween. The coworkers are incredible and really help you get through the day. Help is often available if you seek it. Supervisors will send emails out to the whole team when one person is overwhelmed. I definitely do not regret the experience I got out of this. It doesn't feel like an entry level role because you experience the same problems that people who have been there for 5+ years experience, and it is a great introduction to the fast paced corporate world.

Cons

It seemed as though the company was run by a 21 year old. Very poor distribution of work, where some people will be there 11 hours a day and some people leave early every day. Often given very ambiguous tasks with little direction. Success often goes unnoticed and 1 problem seems like the end of the world. EXTREMELY unrealistic bonus structure, where you have to reach about 99% accuracy in each category in order to bonus. And there are 2 ways to bonus, but to get the second one you have to achieve the first one, but since it is so unrealistic everyone pretty much gets nothing. And the Client Services Coordinator on your team cannot bonus unless the PSA bonuses, so again, no one bonuses.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your observations. We’re glad you have enjoyed the BDA parties and company events. We work hard, play hard and like to see our team having a good time. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the work-life balance at BDA. Work-life balance is vital to the success of our company and our associates. While there are standards in place for the number of hours that we spend working, we recognize that the pace of our growth has at times pushed all of us to our individual limits. It’s important for us to recognize that we’re all human and inherently different while also maintaining compliance with the standards. As we grow, we are simultaneously working to make expectations and responsibilities clearer for each role on the team, and we are collecting feedback along the way to help us improve. If you would be open to sharing more details about your experience, we would like to review them to inform our efforts. Please contact us at any time at feedback@bdain.com. Sincerely, BDA Team
