Pros

The company and support teams are growing.

Cons

The team leader has created a challenging environment. He frequently uses pet names—including with executives—that many find unprofessional. There's a lack of consistency in how policies are enforced, which has contributed to tension and confusion within the department. His leadership style tends to rely on authority and control, and multiple people have reported feeling uncomfortable due to inappropriate behavior. Despite several concerns being raised with HR, no meaningful change has occurred. As for the COO, there’s been significant turnover under her leadership—five SVP/VPs in five years, along with several full team departures. Many employees feel that retention and morale aren’t priorities for her, and there’s a shared sentiment that people are seen as easily replaceable. Her limited communication and visibility only reinforce that perception. It’s frustrating because there are incredibly talented individuals on the marketing team—smart, hardworking people who care deeply about their work. But the culture is pushing them out, and that’s a loss the company doesn’t seem to recognize

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.
