Pros

Great team, great flexibility, and great opportunities for advancement. BDA believes in promoting from within. Work life balance at BDA can be great but you have to manage your schedule. You will be busy at BDA and it is up to you to maintain a healthy work life balance.

Cons

High turnover in some departments trickles into other areas as there seem to be training issues with new hires and getting them up to speed. This directly affects our relationships with clients. Day to day can be meeting heavy, there is a lot of multi-tasking on days where you have back to back meetings.

Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience at BDA. Work-life balance is vital to the success of our company and our associates and we are glad that you have found a positive balance. Associate turnover is a metric that we track and in relation to other companies of our size and scope, BDA is within a reasonable tolerance for % of turnover. With that said, we have people that have been here for years and years. We also have had people stay for a short time at BDA. In every case, with any career, the reasons for staying and going are deeply personal. Our goal is to be a great place to build a career. The work is never done and we need to do a better job of listening and executing. If you would be able to share more details about your experience, we'd like to hear from you so we can work to improve the situation. Please contact us at feedback@bdainc.com. Sincerely, BDA HR

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.
