Was Not the Right Fit

Pros

There are some great people with amazing work ethics.

Cons

Very paternalistic approach to management. I always felt I was being talked down to as if I was a little kid and dad knew best. They have an entrance where you are forced to walk by the executive managment's expensive cars while they pay under the industry norm. It was belittling being lectured in all company meetings by the same management that were responsible for putting the company in such dire straights. They will take as much time from as you allow them to since workload is often very unrealistic. They expect you to sacrifice like others do. If that is what you find rewarding, it is a good fit. For me, it felt slightly abusive.

Pros

BDA set an amazing foundation for my career. Amazing co-workers and clients. The work it self is very fun. You will learn how to do the impossible over and over again which will make you bored at your next jobs, but also fearless.

Cons

No clear path for advancement. Very high turn-over. Had 5 different managers in 7 years.

See through the negative!

Pros

There are a lot of posts about BDA showing such negative comments but I can tell you that they just aren't accurate. I have worked for BDA for a few years and the owners truly care about people. You definitely have to work hard in your job but it does not go unrecognized and you learn so much while doing it. The people of this company are probably the nicest I have ever met and we have a lot of fun doing what we do!

Cons

Lots of people want to grow within BDA and getting yourself recognized for your work and promoting can be a challenge, but they encourage you to grow.
