Pros

Good benefits. Room for advancement, if you're okay eating a mouthful of politics and a constantly missing stapler. They cut staplers out of the budget--sorry pal.

Cons

The greed is unpalatable. Demanding..no appreciation. I worked on a large (400 unit) property and leased roughly half the apartments in the barely two years I was there; I was good at my job, yet I was given a 2% raise after my 2nd (positive) yearly review. As an employee living onsite, my "reduced rent" was increased at rate of 7% per year, which by my math means the company turns a profit off their employees as well. Corporate expectations are sky-high, but they give the onsite managers so little empowerment that even dealing with resident complaints is a chain of politics and micro-management (meanwhile every time I picked up the phone one was yelling in my ear)! I say this, b/c I witnessed it repeatedly. there were about 5 managers rotated through the property over those two years, the only other consultant in the office changed half a dozen times, and the property was sold barely 2 months after I began employment. I ended up working every weekend for about 2 months straight after my 1st coworker quit, and I was barely trained at that point. It took me months to get all my files straight, and they didn't hire another employee for weeks and weeks. SAD!

I'm not going to give you a scripted response, because, quite frankly we don't have any. A live person reviews all posts and responds, as appropriate. I'm truly sorry you had a bad experience. I share this advice with anyone who reads these responses. If you are having issues in your place of employment, find someone with whom you can speak so you can see if there is a way to resolve the issue. In the words of Henri-Frederic Amile: "Life is short and we have not too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark way with us."

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.
