      Pros

      It seemed as though the company was run by a 21 year old. Lots of fun work parties/events. Free unlimited food/drinks at the events. All the departments go all out for Halloween. The coworkers are incredible and really help you get through the day. Help is often available if you seek it. Supervisors will send emails out to the whole team when one person is overwhelmed. I definitely do not regret the experience I got out of this. It doesn't feel like an entry level role because you experience the same problems that people who have been there for 5+ years experience, and it is a great introduction to the fast paced corporate world.

      Cons

      It seemed as though the company was run by a 21 year old. Very poor distribution of work, where some people will be there 11 hours a day and some people leave early every day. Often given very ambiguous tasks with little direction. Success often goes unnoticed and 1 problem seems like the end of the world. EXTREMELY unrealistic bonus structure, where you have to reach about 99% accuracy in each category in order to bonus. And there are 2 ways to bonus, but to get the second one you have to achieve the first one, but since it is so unrealistic everyone pretty much gets nothing. And the Client Services Coordinator on your team cannot bonus unless the PSA bonuses, so again, no one bonuses.

      Hi, Thank you for sharing your observations. We’re glad you have enjoyed the BDA parties and company events. We work hard, play hard and like to see our team having a good time. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the work-life balance at BDA. Work-life balance is vital to the success of our company and our associates. While there are standards in place for the number of hours that we spend working, we recognize that the pace of our growth has at times pushed all of us to our individual limits. It’s important for us to recognize that we’re all human and inherently different while also maintaining compliance with the standards. As we grow, we are simultaneously working to make expectations and responsibilities clearer for each role on the team, and we are collecting feedback along the way to help us improve. If you would be open to sharing more details about your experience, we would like to review them to inform our efforts. Please contact us at any time at feedback@bdain.com. Sincerely, BDA Team

      Pros

      - Decent base salary if this is your first job out of University. - Free Swag - WFH Fridays - Smart and helpful colleagues

      Cons

      - Incredibly stressful, do NOT take this job if you do not have a high stress tolerance. - A ton of competing priorities that almost always require quick/immediate action. - You get a ton of emails and are expected to be able to pull up and reference any of them at a moments notice. - Constant whiplash between doing deep, focused work (presentation/catalogs) that have a ton of details and require your full attention versus quick/rapid fire tasks that you must address immediately. There were days where I was working on one presentation all day and couldn't get it done because of how much I was getting pinged to resolve other issues. - To get promoted you must essentially do the job of 2 people (CSC and PSA). Beyond that, there is no real career progression unless you want to go into sales. - Management always says to raise your hand if you need help. But when you ask for help, there is always pushback in the form of others having more task hours than you. - CEO took away one of the WFH days. When Qualtrics had negative feedback he essentially said "If you don't like it - then leave". He is a "Do as I say, not as I do." type of leader. - Workload and responsibilities are not commiserate to the salary.
