Very mid, not the most inspiring environment.

The benefits lack severely and would deter any seasoned professional from taking a position if you had this info before hand. No health insurance the first 90 days and the options after that are not great. 
Vacation/PTO and work/life balance aren't even in the same realm if you look to other industries. 5 days total (you read that right) for the first year, then only after a year do you start accruing more time. Good luck trying to get PTO approved. All around benefits are not great.

Also, the CEO severely lacks the temperament for the position. Questionable decision making and an industry of nepotism. I wouldn't waste your time.



When things are good, there's very little celebration; but when things are bad, anyone's head can be on the chopping block. Managment will burn through team members in order to make parent company and private equity ownership happy. Can't trust anyone, everyone is out for themselves and managers actively participate in spreading rumors that ultimately cost people their jobs. Every growing pain you can imagine. Empty promises. Poor communication. Constantly reacting and pointing fingers. 

Amazing job if you didn't mind the low pay/compensation and extreme disorganization. Zero chance for work from home. Archaic b2b sales approach that doesn't account for instant gratification sales to dealers and end customers.  The fringe benefits helped, industry job, industry discounts.  What I leaned is that this company is still structured like a family business, not a multi million dollar corporation that its become in the last few years. Workplace culture is that of a off road fabrication shop, truck and desert people, not really for someone that's not in that hobby/lifestyle. 

I actually enjoyed working at BD. However when there was a leadership change I noticed that things began to go downhill. The people that were let go were the employees they should have kept. Because they had the knowledge to keep production steadily moving. Instead they brought in new employees that have no idea what they’re doing. Overall the new CEO there has no idea how to make good leadership calls.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Beautiful awesome enjoyable lovely

Fun place to work with a lot of friendly people and down to earth, You have to really submerge yourself into the baja life if you want to work here for the long run. Great people, great environment. Lots to do with not a lot of room for growth.

I worked in shipping and receiving and was taught how to drive the forklift and package orders. The warhorse environment was peasant and I enjoyed going to work. 

The management is awful, you almost feel as if they are all plotting something against you. They will make you feel out of place and unwanted. Everyone had booger sugar in their noses. The production management and lead have it out for all the employees 

management sees issues in paper but has hard time working and understanding staff. Great company to work for but everyones in their mid- twenties and work can be easily be distracting because of laid back atmosphere.

Nice clean shop with good machines. Really miss that place. I was nice working in an industry that I actively participated in. Was also nice to be part of the development process instead of getting poorly designed pieces thrown at you to male work.
