JDB, You ask a good question, but you left most of the information behind your question out.
You have a BBA, and interested in a MBA, wondering if it will benefit you.
1. Are you utilizing your BBA now? 2a. Are your peers moving ahead and not you? 2b. Do they have advanced degrees, or people skills, or both? 3. What degree is common in your line of work? It is possible to be overeducated, somewhat reducing your marketability.
So what I am eluding to, you need to research others in your field, and determine what education they have, workers, and management. Then make your decision from there.
To give you a straight answer, an MBA is more education that can never be taken away from you. But don't think for one minute anyone will owe you a better position. That will come from your current work ethic. The MBA will just be a tie-breaker between you and another employee for a promotion.
The larger the company the more "tied" they appear to be to that piece of paper called a degree. Smaller companies tend to put more emphasis on your track record.
In my field, advanced degrees are almost a requirement, if you plan on moving up you will need one for sure. BUT, an MS or PhD, does not automatically move you up.
I have been out of school since 2005. I still take 1-2 classes a year (post-grad engineering) to stay current.
