Pros

Good Insurance benefits especially if you have a family; Good monthly training programs with Fair Housing, Safety, Yardi and Workday.

Cons

I was an employee of Bell Partners for almost 6 years; Most of my tenure being in Florida. I transferred to Virginia due to family and a few months later decided to start working for Bell again BECAUSE of my experience in Florida. I made some pretty large sacrifices to go back to work for Bell in VA, including work days that were 12-14 hours long because of my commute. After being at this troubled property for 6 months and having no issues with associates, I reported an event of discrimination (towards myself and my residents) that occurred with one of my associates who had less then 90 days of employment with Bell. HR did nothing except hand me disciplinary action 5 days later saying I was being Hostile. No other reason for the disciplinary action was given, I was not allowed to comment about the disciplinary action that was brought to me and I was not shown a hard copy of what I was being ‘disciplined’ for as my supervisor didn’t have a hard copy printed and it was only available on their computer which they refused to show me. I never had a single disciplinary action against me in all my years with Bell, not one single complaint from any of my associates back home and won three national awards at conference (last one being three weeks before this occurred). The Bell I knew didn’t handle things that way, they LISTENED to their employees, stood behind them and DID THE RIGHT THING EVERY-TIME. Remember that core value? Ever since Mary Copeland left all of that has gone down the tubes. This company USED to be great company and it is truly sad and heart breaking to see what has come of it.

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.
