Pros
BOA does a great job of establishing culture within the company and works to maintain a positive work life balance for their employees. Ample opportunities are presented for staff to connect within departments and to engage outside of daily work interactions. With connection days at the office twice a week, the company is flexible providing a hybrid work environment. The company is also working hard towards long term initiatives surrounding sustainability and diversity and investing into long term solutions instead of overrating to reflect current industry trends. Senior management is passionate and hardworking and reflects BOAs core values. Employee benefits include but are not limited to- group personal training sessions, yoga, meditation, BOA swag, discounts across outdoor sports segments, lunches, reimbursement for health and wellness gear and activities, above industry standard healthcare, dental coverage, vision coverage, 401k match, bonuses and stock options.
Cons
BOA aims to have a comprehensive compensation package for their employees but in the end, salary matters. With salaries at the low end of mid-range targets, it is an area in which BOA can help improve the lives of their employees. BOA also struggles with career succession planning. Many roles at BOA fall outside of the scope of the average corporate environment, and it can take a lot of effort from an employee to carve out a path for themselves and to create their own future opportunities.
