Extreme Micromanaging and poorly structured company! Beware!
|
|
Some Account Managers there are awesome, others are the absolute worst
Paid Training
Equipment provided during Covid
Cool client portfolio
|
If I could give this place 0 stars I would.
I will try to summarize how bad this place is below, in hopes it will save other people from working here.
• First off, the amount of work needing to be done at the pace these people want it would warrant a lot higher of a pay than what you will get. The amount you get is laughable compared to other similar positions at other companies.
• Upper management/ management in general do not care about you as an employee they only care about themselves and whether or not you make them look good.
• Extreme Micromanagement:
If you want someone to bother you every second of every day and see if you are online when they aren't even online then this is the place for you. They use Microsoft teams to keep an eye on if you are online or not and management will bother you if you are gone for more than 5-10 mins. When they, themselves are gone for hours at a time with no penalty's.
• Poor communication across every department especially with HR and Management, they will say your communication is bad while not replying or seeing your emails for days or hours at a time.
• People will think you know what they want as if you can read their minds, and if you don't do the task they need the way they want it they WILL complain to your supervisor.
• Work/ Life balance is poor due to unreasonable expectations
• Constant layoffs, and poor organization overall, all support roles are also being outsourced to the Philippines.
I could go on and on, but hopefully this is enough to get people to look elsewhere for work, and save them the headache I have had to endure with this company.

Please treat all of your employees as if you would want to be treated, and act professional like you want us to act. CEO's and any executives that act as if there is not an appropriate way to talk to their employees by cursing during meetings, and using other "locker room" talk should not be allowed to run a company.
In saying that pay more attention to the Sales Operations Supervisors, Sales Ops Managers, etc and please correct how they are treating anyone below them. I can say with full confidence it is not a way you or anyone you know would want to be treated.

Always working to be better
|
|
BDA isn't perfect but the company is clearly always working to be better - for its employees, its clients, its partners. People who say otherwise have unrealistic expectations.
|
Sometimes it feels like we are making things work with bandaids and zeal.

Smart - good people. Team environment. You get what you put in.

Benefits, bonus structure need work. HR doesn't feel accessible. Internal operations tools need a lot of work, but they are working on it.

So Close But So Far
|
|
Great People
Positive Attitude
Cool Clients
Ton of autonomy
Fun Parties + Events
|
While the people at BDA are great, BDA's refusal to advance to the modern age from a technological standpoint is very frustrating. BDA's refusal to create a competent CRM system and develop stable websites leads to creating simple reports to be an excruciating process. This contributes to BDA making decisions based on emotion rather than based on a logical foundation.
Way too many meetings. I bet there wouldn't be so much crunch at if BDA made a conscious effort to reduce meetings. Speaking of, I have seen many staff work during PTO so BDA is more than fine overworking employees if it helps them in the short run. You'll hear management verbally be against this behavior but not actually back it up.
BDA also refuses to create realistic goals for clients which can lead to a lot of unnecessary conflict and this refusal to be transparent with both clients and employees leads employees like myself having little to no confidence in upper management. With BDA's history of lay offs and disorganization, let's just say I feel very little security in my work.
While I personally have no problem with crass humor, hearing Jay Deutsch speak in such a manner right in front of all HR personnel gives me little confidence in leadership. I really enjoy Jay's enthusiasm and passion for BDA so I know he has what it takes to be a killer CEO but there's a time and place for everything and those types of jokes should not be tolerated in a work setting in front of hundreds of employees at team calls.
BDA's terrible organization leads to a lot of unnecessary conflict as well but with the company being so poorly organized and a poor standard of operations, many employees like myself feel more like glorified babysitters.

You are so close to having an incredible company but BDA's refusal to invest in a CRM system and make a conscious effort for improvement is a huge hinderance. Simply maintaining a more professional demeanor, cutting meetings, respecting PTO, and keeping a standard of quality for all operations would change this review to a five star.
I love BDA's social events a lot but I'd rather have those funds be used for job security, better pay, and new CRM systems.
