Vantaggi

Fun activities scheduled for once a month. Employee pampering and lunch on the company every once in a while. Salary is competitive. Some of the employees are decent people. CEO brings in a lot of accounts, no shortage of work.

Svantaggi

They over work you. They want to squeeze every minute from the day out of you. 30 minute lunch breaks for a full 9 hour day, any more and the team starts talking bad behind your back. High stress environment, everyone works in silence... awkward. Forget about work life balance. Most of the employees take their work home and continue working from there late until the night. No training, no grace period, no easing into your new position. Day 1 they throw you in with the wolves. Its either sink or swim. They "guarantee" their accounts a certain number of placements. So if you don't get them what you promised, its on YOU to get them coverage even though the contract may have ended. No one else in PR does this. So many pointless meetings that require you to prepare beforehand consuming so much precious time during which you can actually call and pitch writers. Their formats for creating documents are long and meticulous. It can take hours to complete a document that would otherwise take minutes because of their ridiculous and tedious approach.

Vantaggi

I had the opportunity to work for BAM as a contractor before joining full-time. Beyond the four-day work week, competitive benefits and salary, and genuinely kind (and incredibly smart) colleagues I get to learn from every day, what stood out to me early was the consistency in how people described the culture and leadership throughout the interview process. Like most companies, BAM runs company wide surveys around what we should start, stop, and continue each year. What felt different was the speed of response and transparency. It didn’t takehalf a year to hear back. The most pressing decisions were made in real time. The rest were discussed the following week. Leadership, including Beck, reviewed each line item and explained their decisions in real time. Seeing that level of accountability and execution firsthand made it clear that employee feedback means something here. The benefits and pay are great, but working somewhere that shows that it values its people, in more ways than one, is what makes it special. A plus: The intentionality behind meeting in person when possible and creating a safe space for new perspectives and feedback is what has set them apart in terms of culture in my book.

Svantaggi

Not a con, but moreso something to be aware of: the expectations are high and the pace can move quickly. BAM is not a work place to be passive. You have to own your work and communicate proactively! This is the only way a flexible, 4 day work week actually works!

What an incredible team — the CEO, leadership, and staff are professional, diligent, and sincere. They are truly wonderful people who work collaboratively to build one another up and care deeply about their clients.

Svantaggi

I genuinely can’t think of a single con.
