      Pros

      The people are the best part. They also moved me to a new city which was a personal goal of mine.

      Cons

      I worked at BDA a very long time and I worked my butt off for a place that saw me as just a a COG. It took some time but I finally realized and got out. I realized it as soon as I was screwed out of a VERY large bonus on the smallest technicality and they refused to show me their findings for it. I realized it as soon as the CEO lied straight to my face about it. I realized it when my boss told me I was toxic, even though I made 80% over my budget and was nominated for an award. I realized it when I came back to work after being on FMLA and received no call or note from my VP checking in on me. All in all, just avoid this place. They talk about team and family but they in reality.....it’s all smoke and mirrors.

      While we value revenue growth over budget, if it’s done in a way that creates discourse with the team it’s not worth it. Bonus plans are documented clearly in order to avoid any questions of “technicalities.” Employees either hit it or they don’t, and it’s managed by finance and HR, not the CEO. We are grateful for your 8 years of service and it sounds like you are on your way to finding something better for you. We wish you well!

      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.
