Pros

Great people with so much passion and creativity. Cool industry working with the most famous client brands. Great office environment. Leadership that is steering the giant ship in the RIGHT DIRECTION! Yeah I said it! It is moving in the right direction and all of us that have stuck it out the past couple years should be proud of the work that we have put in to make BDA what it is today.

Cons

Pay is still an issue. The only teams that seem to be paid reasonably for their work are the Account Managers and executives. The rest of the team is clearly underpaid for the work they do. Medical insurance is good if you are just supporting yourself however add the family to your medical and it's completely unaffordable.

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.
