      Overworked, Underpaid

      Client service associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some of my coworkers have become family

      Cons

      Expect too much time given Expect you to work over 40 hours with no compensation Account managers don't support your needs or time Respect is not given unless you are married to the job They love to micromanage Communication is a big problem between teams, different offices, role to role Expectations are different for the same role depending on what office you are in. They (executives) Expect you to drink heavily at company functions (AMP) They say they are all about team and family and this was not the case that I saw throughout my career at the company.

      Good first job/No long term promises

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good resume builder for your first few years' experience. Good health benefits, Free happy hour every Friday. Tons of company parties if that is your thing. Sales reps will have even more events. Frequent one-off perks such as free samples of their products.

      Cons

      Pay is considerably low compared to other employers since they are focused on saving money. If they didn't host so many parties for sales reps they might be able to pay their employees more. Turnover is high so consider yourself rare if you are at the company longer than 3 years.

      No room for growth

      Customer service representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people I worked with were amazing, however, that only goes so far when you are treated like a lesser form of life by management and lied to on a nearly daily basis.

      Cons

      Absolutely no advancement opportunities, despite what management and HR will tell you. You can go through all the training and prove that you are a viable candidate for a better position and it means nothing, it will be given to somebody as their first position out of college. Also, hopefully you like being paid as much (or possibly less) than an entry level worker at McDonald's.

      Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback in relation to growth opportunities at BDA. While we are experiencing tremendous growth as a company and significant headcount growth in certain departments, career path growth is a function of a number of factors including timing, opportunities/openings, and fit. We take great pride in the promotions that our associates achieve/receive and we celebrate them throughout the company. As BDA continues to grow we expect more jobs and different jobs will come available. Each associate at BDA makes an important contribution in their role and we try to insure that our people understand and feel that we recognize and appreciate their efforts. Like most things, we can always work harder to do better. We would like to hear from you if you have any other thoughts on this subject, or if you’d just like to discuss your feedback. Please contact us at feedback@bdainc.com. Sincerely, BDA HR
