Pros

The BOS position is good in a few scenarios. It's a good position for those who just graduated or are still going to school. It's good for those who are looking for a career change and want some non profit and/or customer service experience. It's also good for those who are looking for a long term position but dont really care to make much money or move up career wise (like people who are just working to work). Office is brand new and very cool. Great location. Young staff.

Cons

The pay. I mean c'mon. First 90 days you get $14/hr. After that you get $15hr. After a year you have the POTENTIAL of get UP TO a dollar raise...you can do everything right and not get that dollar because they're not willing to give that dollar raise out. Most people end up getting a .25 or .50 cent raise after a year and the best BOS get .75. BDT can't even give us a full 40 hour work week (37.5) A promotion from BOS to a coordinator position really just means a lot more responsibilities for not that much pay (coordinator positions pay 38k). Many smart, hard working and capable BOS go out for these positions but they end up going with an external candidate OR someone else in the office who didn't even go out for that promotion! BOS are micromanaged to the point where it seems like upper management thinks we're idiotic children. No internet access because of "data security" but everyone else in the office has access to the same info we do and they have internet. No phones at our desks and in designated areas. 30 min break and 45 min lunch. Basically anytime you do anything you have to set your status on your computer so everyone else knows what you're up to while people in other departments chill in the break room all the time. They even audit some peoples instant messages to each out (which can lead to termination) when HR has their own scandalous drama going on...hypocrites BDT continues to expand rather than focusing on the issues that the staff are voicing over and over again. Everyone in the contact center is miserable and we all find solice in that. It's been basically accepted that BDT will crash and burn soon enough because everyone wants to leave at this point. A cool office isn't enough to keep your staff.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about BDT on Glassdoor. We're glad that you appreciate the location and design of our new space. We work to provide our staff with a competitive compensation package that covers a wide variety of areas. This includes salary, medical/dental coverage and 401(K) with 2 percent match and many others. As an organization, we always look for the best talent and we must ensure that we find the best individuals to fit our staffing needs. At times, we must bring on an outside hire that has a skillset that we require or make changes internally to put current staff members in a different position that best utilizes their skillsets. BDT uses a Contact Center strategy to reach individuals that would normally fall through the cracks and not be able to access public benefits. A Contact Center requires time to be managed closely to ensure that calls are answered in a timely manner as our clients are looking us to assist them through their application process. For many of our clients, these are challenging phone calls and we want to make sure that they do not wait very long. HR does audit instant messages randomly to ensure that company communication systems are being used properly. At BDT, we have many avenues for feedback and we hope that you utilize one of them to work with us to provide solutions to this.
