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

- 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.
