Pros of working at BD

Some co-workers are very friendly and helpful

Cons of working at BD

Management spends a lot of time running around in circles. It was very hard to talk to or get help from my manager. He spent most of the time working from home when he needed to be onsite.

Pros of working at BD

I don't! I don't know how this company got such high stars. Maybe some BD businesses are better then others but most are horrible and cut corners in operations to get their product out the door and then they look good to corporate.

Cons of working at BD

Salary gap is horrible. They work their production people to death and treat them as if they were lower class. Upper management expects miracles, but won't spend money. There slogan is "well you better figure it out then", without any resources or ways to improve. We don't have leadership,we have bosses that have no compassion and don't care about their people, just get it done to make them look good to corporate.

BD benefits

Oh. There isnt any and if there is they keep them hush hush because that would take you away from work.
