Pros

The pay and benefits are decent enough and the company is large enough to allow for plenty of movement. I do think corporate tries their best. They talk the talk at least and come across as genuine if not somewhat aloof.

Cons

This does not apply to all but more than a majority - Middle management sucks the life out of this company - they so strongly cling to the company’s hierarchy that if you’re not a Community Manager, you don’t exist and it’s best that you are seen and not heard. Decisions are not made based on facts but on their false sense of superiority - they take sides in employee conflicts based off personal relationships and terminate the opposing employee who was not in the wrong. Incidents of bullying and belittlement are not rare nor isolated nor are incidents of racial harassment. And you may as well go ahead and buy your own bus because they will be throwing you under one quite frequently. If a resident gets an answer from us they don’t like and call corporate, whatever you said doesn’t matter and they get what they want - completely undermining your authority and making you look dumb. You could be disparaged and have libel/slanderous statements made about you and not a thing is done about it because we’d hate to lose the 0.5% occupancy if they don’t renew.

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.
