Pros

They provide an onsite Happy Hour.

Cons

Antiquated systems that impede efficiency and results in amateurish presentation styles to the clients. Several managers are not qualified - in some cases, no credentials - for their subject matter. They are in roles that should be earned by professional accomplishments, not just because you've been there 10 years. Not very inclusive of remote offices and corp. communication is lacking. Colleagues compete against each other, as opposed to help build each other up. I witnessed "forwarding" of external e-mail content, that would be edited to cover up individual's mistakes, before the message was seen by management. They call everyone "Tiggers" which is rather juvenile.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. Communication, whether positive or negative is important for us to hear, that’s why we conduct our monthly all company video conference across 30+ locations, and record our weekly client services update to create an environment of awareness. As we’ve grown and are spread out across several continents and multiple time zones, personal communication has become harder but it’s something we feel is important to continue to strive for. Tigger is a universal symbol for optimism and positivity. We aren’t trying to commercialize a Disney trademark, we are merely using it as an internal reference point to choose optimism over the alternative. We're sorry things didn’t work out at BDA for you. We wish you success in your next professional endeavor.

Pros

-BDA has a strict work hard/play hard mentality that I really enjoy. Company functions are often always a blast. They work hard to create a company culture and foster teamwork/communication across all departments -The founders/owners are very down to earth and visible. -Salaried position has it's pros and cons, but generally you are not expected to work more than 40 hours a week unless there is something urgent and you're able to leave early if your team has completed it's work for the day. -Supervisors and Managers are very supportive and focus on your needs and development within the company. -I've never had trouble getting time off approved for vacation or doctor appointments as long as I gave adequate notice. -Benefits are good and there are a LOT of discounts available through our vendors and clients.

Cons

-Your hours and workload vary depending on the account you are assigned to, which you have little to no control over. -BDA is not known for high wages, this causes a lot of turn over from what I've seen. -I started as a contracted employee and my contract was only supposed to last 3 months, but I wasn't hired on full-time until 6 months.
