Great people, but terrible pay and WLB - Account Manager BDA Employee Review

Pros

I have met some of the most amazing people ever. Great, down to earth, ready to help kinda people. I love the vibe this place has. I was lucky to have amazing managers throughout my career at BDA. However, I know some people who have had major challenges with micromanaging, pain in the butt, unsupportive managers. A lot to learn from literally everybody. Fast paced and dynamic work culture which I personally really appreciate. Will make a lot of good friends. Very friendly and supportive people. Great holiday parties!

Cons

Pay is HORRIBLE to a level where nothing else really matters. Terrible benefits. Difficult to grow and get promoted. You’ll find some racist people. It’s just unfortunate that we still have to deal with racism at workplace. Favouritism prevails, if you are buddy buddy with your manager or director it will help you grow really fast. Little to no training even when there is a whole training department to train people. Attrition is thru the roof. There are so many new faces all the time.

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.
