Pros

The people - they really become your family. If you like the culture of BDA you will thrive and they will invest in you and want to see you succeed. It really is a very energizing company that wants to see you grow with them.

Cons

Not enough accountability to operations when you're in the sales role. Limited sales support. Unified communication from executives.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We take pride in our employees’ work with the company and seeing them grow professionally in our culture is such a win for all of us! BDA is such a fast-paced, creative environment and everyone, from support positions to leadership, is running fast in a relay race to succeed. Sometimes we forget to slow down enough to make sure we are running in the right lane and the rest of the team knows the plan. With the amazing growth we are seeing it can sometimes be hard to keep up with the demand for new talent to support that growth. But we are improving our recruiting processes to be more effective and efficient in adding more “aprons on the floor”. Also, we want to hear ideas from everyone on the team, especially people on the ground level. If you have ideas on how we can improve lines of communication please consider sending us a message at feedback@bdainc.com to continue the conversation.

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.
