Pros

BDA can have a great culture depending where you live. If you weren't overworked, their policies would seem really great.

Cons

Unfortunately, the CEO is so far removed now that the company is so large and often doesn't know what the left hand is doing within the org. He seems to have little say in the day to day goings on at his company. BDA once was a great place. Unfortunately, the warehouse leadership was very toxic and my own manager was not someone to be trusted. Days off on PTO were always interrupted with texts and phone calls and a lack of respecting my personal time. My boss of several years still had no idea what I did until after I left the company, and even then I'm not sure they have improved their knowledge. When someone asks for help, it's not given and instead folks are left to flounder, become severely overworked, and underpaid. The appreciation tends to only go to the folks in sales, leaving the operations people on the back burner despite all that they do for the company. Over the years, the warehouse management often hid the problems, sugar coating and fudging numbers or hiding data to make themselves look better. Really poor ethics.

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.
