Hi, Thank you for providing this feedback. I’m sorry that you feel BDA’s compensation package is inadequate. On an annual basis we review and compare our combination of fixed and incentive compensation along with other benefits such as health and paid time off against peer companies of our size and scope. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and competitive benefits package across the board for everybody. In some cases, what’s best for the greatest number of associates may not be best for an individual, we recognize this but we’re also trying to balance all of this for the majority in a responsible way that insures the long-term viability of the company. If you would like to discuss your individual needs, please send us a personal message at feedback@bdainc.com to continue the conversation. Sincerely, BDA HR

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
