      Pros

      Some decent coworkers and supervisors, just not enough of them to go around.

      Cons

      You need to kiss up to everybody you work with and not rock the boat. Even when the other guys are steering the boat towards a waterfall, just hold hands and sing kumbaya. God help you if you dare to explain what's wrong with what they're doing, too many backstabbers would just mouth off to your supervisor. That's all the excuse needed to get rid of you in the annual layoffs that happen every September.

      Not the BDB it once was...

      Pros

      Many talented, dedicated, and resilient associates outside of leadership with terrific customer focus who continue to deliver amazing contributions and results throughout the company year after year

      Cons

      Tremendous politics, chaos, and dysfunction now permeate throughout sales, service, and other organizations as a consequence of leadership changes during past few years, after multiple, well- tenured, former leaders retired or left the company. Current leaders continue to struggle with establishing increasing levels of trust, respect, and credibility with customers, and within their own teams. BD core values once so widely respected and adopted by all seem no longer relevant from the perspective of customers and existing leaders

      Cons

      line management poor. lack of man management skills. lack of technical knowledge. promoted because they can talk the talk. their way or the high way high staff turnover, lots of long term leavers. managers blame the team for their failure to lead. BD values are spoken but not adhered to by managers no career development.
