Pros

None to report, used to be a great company but recent management changes appalling.

Cons

I had the experience of working at this company, and unfortunately, it left much to be desired. The overall structure seemed to be grossly mismanaged and disorganized. The hierarchical structure fostered a culture where managers and regional managers played favorites, often promoting individuals based on personal connections rather than merit. This created an environment where friendships mattered more than competence. Not to mention the sheer negligence and misconduct of a certain regional manager. One significant issue I encountered was the lack of effectiveness in the HR department. Seeking help or voicing concerns was met with little resolution, and there were instances where approaching HR led to negative consequences, including termination. Surprisingly, the cultural challenges persist despite the apparent oversight of the VPs. It leaves one questioning how such practices are allowed to persist within the organization. Overall, my time at this company was marked by a disheartening work culture and management approach that seemed counterproductive to fostering a healthy and productive work environment.

Pros

Bell is a company that truly believes human capital is key to achieving great results. The support from upper management is amazing, and every interaction is based on respect and consideration. The Bell Buddy program is outstanding because it makes you feel supported and welcomed at all times.

Cons

No birthday day off. It would be nice to have a day off to be recognized on your birthday.

Pros

Pay was great. Many great employees and leadership until they laid off many.

Cons

I was there due to a management switch. My goal was to be there at least 5 years. In March, there was a layoff. I wasn’t laid off but was told my position would soon be in a matter of months. Due to restructuring I was transferred to a new property where the manager of the property had many insecurities and lacked integrity. This is where I was told my position was going to be eliminated 3-6 months after everyone. It did not make sense to me because it appeared other Bell owned properties were keeping there ACMS. Come to find out after I resigned this was not true as my position was posted again. The cm even worked with my schedule for interviewing. At first, I thought what a nice thing to do. After I left I realized what I was told was not the truth. This manager also said some very questionable things about my character that was never communicated to me ever. I won an award at the awards ceremony. Traditionally, winners are invited to the awards. I was not. No one employee from Bell bothered to tell me until days after. Who wants to work with a manager who goes what out of their way to exclude someone. I planned to be there long term. Beware of not so honest managers and be careful who you hire obviously. The team has not been happy with this manager.
