Pros

I've been working at BBMC for just a bit over 6 months now and I'd say it's a good place to work at if you want experiences in different fields because you do have to wear multiple hats especially when it gets busy. Management is pretty flexible for you to try out different departments despite lack of previous experience/degree, it gave me insight into how different field of work operates and allowed me to really narrow in on what I like and don't like to do and what I want to focus on career-wise. The team has good energy. Environment can be fast paced. Lots of car talk because many car enthusiasts work here and the Fun Committee hosts a lot of company events to help team bonding. Management is pretty accessible, easy to talk to, receptive of input if you approach them. Office space is slightly small but I heard we're moving soon so this may be temporary. Surprised to see the previous review on how management rules by fear but most people think CEO & the management are pretty easy to talk to and get along with. Overall a tight knit team, good place to learn from, management is good.

Cons

I'd say the office space is quite small, so hopefully we will be moving to a new place soon. It can occassionally be hard to find private meeting rooms. Also can get very busy sometimes.

Pros

Monthly meetings Fun committee Snacks provided by company

Cons

Don't be fooled by the fake reviews on here. The management here is extremely inexperienced, and rules over their company like a playground. Their inability to effectively communicate and their tendency to "lash out" at their employees is clear, due to the fact that the majority of their senior members have left within the last 6 months. There is truth in the team being quite well meshed, incorporating a plethora of different personalities and skillsets. The team there truly was formed on great pillars, with great potential (keyword: was), but that is no longer true as the company stands now. The monthly company dinners and fun-committee organized events are a good time with coworkers, but note that they are unpaid and "optional". These also lack any real team-building activity. These are held at the end of the workday, but often continue into the late evenings. Furthermore, they are often pushed onto weekends or holidays on the rare occasion. I am sure that when management replies to this review, that they will reiterate that these are "optional", but may or may not affect your standing in the eyes of management. There is also truth in management doing their best to make things better for their employees and the company, but only after they've received enough backlash from their employees to make a point.
