Upper management has no strategy, direction, or clue about what's going on
Pros
If you are lucky enough to be placed on a great team, work will be fun... If you don't get laid off.
Cons
They say there's a bonus structure but no one outside of the sales team EVER actually received one. Pay is low vs other companies. During my time at BDA, the first year was great. I loved my team, worked hard, and completely enjoyed what I did. Then things started to turn around. Support from upper management went downhill. They started spending way too much money on unimportant new projects that never succeeded, worthless booze fueled parties, and other non essential needs for the company. The owners seem to run around clueless about how a business should be run and take advice from others who are in the same boat. They have no direction or clue or plan and their strategies change day by day. Proof this is true: they won't even email org charts because "it's our policy." C'mon. Tell us the truth - you have NO idea what you're doing. Owners also say they have an open door policy but this is very clearly not true because they get defensive when an employee has a suggestion. For this company to survive they need to stop spending money on worthless things, start putting a commitment into their employees, and hire a consultant to help them learn how to run a business. So glad I'm out of this toxic environment!!!!!
