      Pros

      The people are the best part. They also moved me to a new city which was a personal goal of mine.

      Cons

      I worked at BDA a very long time and I worked my butt off for a place that saw me as just a a COG. It took some time but I finally realized and got out. I realized it as soon as I was screwed out of a VERY large bonus on the smallest technicality and they refused to show me their findings for it. I realized it as soon as the CEO lied straight to my face about it. I realized it when my boss told me I was toxic, even though I made 80% over my budget and was nominated for an award. I realized it when I came back to work after being on FMLA and received no call or note from my VP checking in on me. All in all, just avoid this place. They talk about team and family but they in reality.....it’s all smoke and mirrors.

      While we value revenue growth over budget, if it’s done in a way that creates discourse with the team it’s not worth it. Bonus plans are documented clearly in order to avoid any questions of “technicalities.” Employees either hit it or they don’t, and it’s managed by finance and HR, not the CEO. We are grateful for your 8 years of service and it sounds like you are on your way to finding something better for you. We wish you well!

      Pros

      There are some good people in the warehouse and long term call center employees. BDA taught me a A LOT about what I DON'T want in a company.

      Cons

      Pay is considerably less than industry standard. By considerably I of course mean laughable. You will be expected to work absolutely absurd hours. You will be expected to take business on your planned and approved vacation. Your workload will be unmanageable at best. You will be verbally abused by co-workers. Directors and Executives will over promise and under deliver. When initiatives fail, expect to be thrown under the bus. When things go right the Executives and Directors bump chests and take a shot, little or no recognition to those who actually carried the project.

      Pros

      If it is your first year out of college and you really enjoyed the fraternity system...you will like it here. You will need to be attractive, be part of the popular people (aka. suck up to HR and Jay specifically) and say 'yes' to literally everything.

      Cons

      Every day there, a little bit of your soul disappears. A 3 pony show down to only 1 pony. Owner (Jay Deutsch) and HR are delusional.
