BDP International

The company itself is impressive. However this office needs a strong and receptive manager to stimulate the growth of each employee and to aggressively generate new business.  I worked in this office for over 3 years. We lost a productive account that I was working on due to the non-professional attitude of the management team. A new assistant manager was hired with few skills, not receptive to helping others, little education which created a non-professional environment within the office (high school mentality) which was discouraging and is creating an increasingly hostile environment and my reason to leave since the manager was not receptive to hearing this. This office needs to hire people with a college education to deliver a mature, intelligent and business professional environment. A better manager could change the office environment significantly as well as the business outlook for this office. Moving to a new company with an excellent management team stimulated me to write this review. If it wasn't for the management, especially the new management team, I would have gladly remained at BDP.

In summary, this  a good company but this office needs to be more productive with better management. It needs a better training program, needs a training manual, needs cross training and needs to encourage workers to advance their skills with defined training programs. Needs to hire more college graduates and compensate them accordingly which will generate a more professional environment in this office and this will serve well for generating new business. A company is only as good as its employees since this creates the "face' of the company.

After my extensive experience employed with the largest broker in the nation, I am more than happy with my experience here at BDP. The leadership continues to surprise me with their intellect and keen, insightful knowledge of the industry and trends therein. 

The culture here is open, honest and professional. The focus is to pull in the best talent to fill the role. Then, encourage that talent to excel. The best candidate will already have demonstrated competencies in areas such as: self-starter, works well without supervision, manages their work load to achieve optimal results. 

The work environment is friendly, hard-working and motivated. Leadership is warm, approachable and extremely knowledgeable. I have seen it first-hand: the grace and professional tact of executive management maneuvering difficult service situations (as we have all experienced in the industry). It's truly motivating to see such finesse unfold effortlessly. It makes me strive to improve myself in all aspects. 

In my past experience, these situations were tense and awkward at best. In great contrast, BDP recognizes these situations as opportunities to excel in service, because our clientele respects us enough to give us feedback.

BDP was a good place to get in the door to learn about the logistics environment and how to do imports and exports.
It provided the knowledge and expertise to help me move on to other companies. I did value the work and my fellow associates. However being one of few to have a college degree seemed to be downfall.

I would not suggest this job to anyone that lives more than 30 minutes or30 miles from this workplace.

The pay and the travel do not match up.

Management was very good at playing favorites. They did not follow proper protocol nor did upper management.

I was ridiculed for using time off before it had expired.
I was sent home for coughing.
I was told to use sick time and not allowed to work from home when I had car issues, while other associates were provided the opportunity to still work from home and not use their sick time for the same exact reason.

I had my desk moved because I was coughing.
I was ridiculed for following procedures and had management block me from asking questions on the portal.

I was told that I violated the BDP protocol by sending e-mails. However my job at BDP required me to send e-mails that had pertinent information.

BDP is not a place I would recommend.

Fast-paced and challenging environment. Jobsite opportunities to learn a broad skillset: document control, procurement, inventory, along with other logistical tasks. Also learned a great deal from other on-site contractors. Workplace culture isn't ideal however it is tolerable. Everyone does not have the opportunity to initiate change and to grow on a professional and personal aspect. Don't hear from the company unless calling to critique something. No sense of belonging: Out of sight, out of mind. The hardest part of the job is seeing how hardworking peers are treated: Co-worker was out with cancer and the company called the employee the entire time asking when the doctor would release them to return to work. When the co-worker returned to work the supervisor did not return the responsibilities. This co-worker was top-notch and ran the assigned site like a well-oiled machine. After about six months the supervisor still had not returned all responsibilities so the co-worker resigned. It was an absolute loss of an awesome employee with great work ethic, character, and personality. 

I learned a lot about the logistics industry working for BDP.  The management was always extremely friendly and helpful whenever I had a question.  The work load was large which was good because my co workers and I were constantly busy.  The environment was very inviting.  Management takes a personal interest in each employee; I was taken out to lunch the first day and was given the opportunity to get to know the managers on a more personal level.  Overall I enjoyed my time working at BDP and would not hesitate to recommend the company.  The hardest part of the job was completing all the work, few and far between I would have to stay until 5:30-6pm to make sure everything was completed.  My favorite part of the job was the friendly environment, it makes going to work everyday a lot easier if you enjoy the people you work with.  I left BDP because I am moving out to Colorado.  I want to continue my career in logistics as working for BDP was very enjoyable.

I work in the Gateway Department for BDP International.  Being in a gateway means that I work in conjunction with several  offices within BDP and receive a variety of commercial goods that we coordinate to send internationally.I work with a small team and supervisor our daily operational duties and assist if there's something my staff might have queries.  I coordinated general cargo and dangerous good shipments with different airlines to ensure the fastest as well as most cost effective way  to send the shipment to its final destination. BDP offers a chance to learn the industry and grow and strive to advance within the company.  I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experiences with my team as well as working to maximize a profit for my customer. I thank BDP for an opportunity to learn this part of the industry and give me a more complete scope of the logistics environment.

Within the first week, I was warned about how stressful it is to work there. It's nice having my own desk and an hour lunch. There's plenty of overtime, but often mandated (so don't make plans if it gets too busy). The training isn't as good as it should be. They let you get things wrong and expect you to remember A LOT, but wont provide you with valuable information to better your performance. I didn't even know my actual job title until week two. Some of the people are helpful and friendly. However, the pay and benefits are not worth the amount of stress for this job. The money they offer to start is not enough to afford the overly expensive "benefits".

My advice to the company, pay your people better and don't stress your employees right out the door. Also, offer a better healthcare package. Seriously, the package offered is a joke.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the co workers with long term experience and new into the field are great.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The job itself can be stressful. However, management is more than stress. Entitlement and arrogance should never be a factor at any place of employment even if you are related.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
My location is very toxic! Management does not mean make life difficult for no reason other than you think you can, nor is  ok to try to CONTROL people like they are animals pr kids.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT! Management doesn't know how to perform your job and instead of them trying to understand or learn your position they will make life difficult for no reason.

I have enjoyed working at BDP, the team of people I work with are great.  There isn't much room for growth without relocating.  The hardest part of the job is dealing with the angry customers regarding payment of invoices.  The payment process relies on our operations teams to complete their jobs and this is not consistently done.  On a typical day I am training or advising on processes and what is needed from my operations teams. The most enjoyable part is the report I have with many of my customers, both internal and external.  BDP's Culture is positive, the company holds events that the entire team looks forward to, and they use methods to make sure the entire team works well together.
