Poor leadership. No structure. Turn and burn employment.

Pros

Bda can be a fun place to work for entry level workers or executive level burnouts. Young people who dont know better or older people who know how to work the system and coast into retirement.

Cons

If you have talent or a brain, its a tough environment to tolerate. These people leave for better jobs, start their own businesses or get fired. Beware the urge to take a stance against bad policy, destructive leadership or reckless greed. Not a rewarding business. Low pay. Low increases. No bonuses.

Pros

You get to work with some great brands if you are in the right geographic location.

Cons

The sales team does not get time to sell. You are so immersed in operational activities more than 70% of your time it completely does not allow you time to go out and sell to your clients. This is a sales ops run company not a sales driven company. Biannual sales meetings are a tradition that involves drinking and all around frat like behavior. There is no follow thru from upper management on any promises, sales incentive programs or just general company direction. The financial stability is in constant question. The non-compete issue also makes it more challenging to leave. Remember this is a BONUS plan and not a commission plan. They make it literally impossible for anyone to reach a bonus at the company so they are allowed to keep all of the revenue themselves.

Pros

Rank & File people. Somehow they have managed to hire some very hard-working good employees. Because of these people it can be a very fun place to work (on a more personal level)

Cons

Executive Management. Leadership is non-existent here. Do not apply or sign-on with any long-term goals/outlook
