BDA reviews

Many positions at BDA have been moved overseas. You can ask all of the questions you want, but they'll just dance around it. They tell you that you're doing a great job, and then once you make any errors, you're flagged. They do not care about any awards that employees have been nominated for or won. BDA has a very well known reputation for screwing sales people out of large bonuses. They basically set you up to fail. They never set you up for success. There is no "family". You're expected to do whatever it takes, as long as it takes to get the order done. People work during their maternity leaves and vacations. They don't care. They will keep stacking the workload until you break. BDA is constantly trying to reinvent the wheel every year. It doesn't work because the problem is at the top. They use an archaic system that does not fit one of the largest promotional product companies in the US. It's completely inefficient and outdated. Pay and benefits are terrible. The HR department has a revolving door and useless. Micro-management is rampant through BDA. You get in trouble for every single minor error. They do not encourage anyone to take a lunch break or feel comfortable taking one. If you want to work 12 hours a day, they won't stop you even if you're the only person in the building. You can't trust anyone in management. They will turn on you and lie so easily to your face. Morale sucks. Way too much favoritism. I've also seen executive leadership act very inappropriately with employees during sales conferences. It's not ok.

Discrimination, Favoritism, Upper Management is corrupt and any little mistake you make is counted against you so they can move you out. They will set you up to fail and when you do blame it on you. Do NOT believe the lies, they are the problem and there is no amount of improving you can do in their eyes.
