A complete mess - Marketing Benjamin David Group Employee Review

BDG has all the things you want in an employer: rock-solid team dynamic, inspiring learning environment, friendly people, freedom to put forth your own ideas and put them into practice, colleagues who know their area of expertise front to back, fun social activities, and so on. What really sets them apart for me, personally, is flexibility. As a freelancer, BDG has made it really easy for me to balance my professional life by allowing me ample time to work on mandates for other clients, in addition to the work I complete for them. They were very open to the idea of letting me work remotely, while still making me feel like I'm always part of the team. The lines of communication are always open, we're able to get together in-person at any given moment, and we all work together in the most highly effective manner. There's a sense of trust that exists that I haven't always found everywhere I've worked. Frankly, I couldn't ask for a better or easier group of people to work with.

I can't think of any.

I met some nice people, I was able to use a small amount of what I learned here from another employee to move on to something better Overall, if you need something to be a stepping stone onto greater things, this could be it.

- Initially offered a full time position after a contract period but never followed through - Owners are shmoozers, poor management skills, lack of empathy - They did not have a clear business plan for themselves, which resulted in them using people for whatever their plan of the month was and then dumping them. They constantly preach that you need to "be scrappy" and resourceful, and they definitely do that with their own employees - borderline abusive to certain employees, extreme favoritism for others - ask their current employees to write positive glassdoor reviews filled with industry buzz words, putting them in an awkward position. - high employee turn over rate
