Pros

BDA can have a great culture depending where you live. If you weren't overworked, their policies would seem really great.

Cons

Unfortunately, the CEO is so far removed now that the company is so large and often doesn't know what the left hand is doing within the org. He seems to have little say in the day to day goings on at his company. BDA once was a great place. Unfortunately, the warehouse leadership was very toxic and my own manager was not someone to be trusted. Days off on PTO were always interrupted with texts and phone calls and a lack of respecting my personal time. My boss of several years still had no idea what I did until after I left the company, and even then I'm not sure they have improved their knowledge. When someone asks for help, it's not given and instead folks are left to flounder, become severely overworked, and underpaid. The appreciation tends to only go to the folks in sales, leaving the operations people on the back burner despite all that they do for the company. Over the years, the warehouse management often hid the problems, sugar coating and fudging numbers or hiding data to make themselves look better. Really poor ethics.

Pros

The promotional industry in itself is a fun industry to be in, it allows for creativity and keeps you busy every day! BDA has a CEO that has a lot of energy and gets the associates excited. The utilize Salesforce as a CRM tool.

Cons

BDA has seen a lot of turnover and they like to pile work on you without much training. They can be old school in some areas, example- making employees room together during travel. There is not a career development program in place for you to grow in your career.
