Bell Partners Reviews

Pros

Great people, including the owners and upper management. Benefits are good, a lot of room for advancement within the company.

Cons

As with most property management companies, they count pennies. They will definitely try to pay you as little as possible.

Advice to Senior Management

Just dont forget how important the little things are to both the people working in the leasing office and the residents who are renting from you.

Pros

Co workers were awesome, benefits were great as well. Company offered a great company discount for living on the property.

Cons

Corporate hired new manager and it went down hill. Very unprofessional and not appreciative of employees. 2 employees out of 5 quit in less than 3 months of the new manager coming in.

Advice to Senior Management

Please be mindful of new people brought in to manage.

Pros

Overall, I think that this would be a very good company to work for, as long as you had a good manager. The company benefits are GREAT, the training is comprehensive and according to their core values, they seem to respect their employees.

Cons

Sometimes bad employees are often times allowed to slip through the cracks at the expense of
good employees.

Advice to Senior Management

I think that Senior Management should be more involved and open the doors to communicate more with the little guys - and make them feel comfortable and like it's okay to move up the chain of command when their immediate supervisor or manager isn't playing by the rules.

Pros

If you're willing to work at it and can maneuver the politics, you can build some decent skills and make contacts, but don't lose sight that this is a stepping stone.

Cons

The most unprofessional company I've ever worked for - many suffer from big-fish-in-a-small-pond mentality. Communication is nearly non-existent; accountability does not exist above the level of hourly-employees; senior leadership is apathetic at best, incompetent at worst; important conflicts of interest exist that would not be permitted at a publicly traded company; tribal knowledge is guarded at the silo level and never shared.

Advice to Senior Management

The world is changing - it's time to start taking your company seriously. Clean house and bring in some professionals.

Pros

The people there are very friendly and are tight-knit. I still think fondly on everyone I worked with. The company is growing, so there is kind of an excitement there about what is happening. The senior management there is very good, with one exception. They understand what it takes to be a growing company and are very open-minded when it comes to strategies for corporate growth as far as real estate goes, but also when it comes to its people. There is a large emphasis there on the employees that make up the company. It was like a big family when I was there.

Cons

Really, there are not any downsides specifically that I can think of. At this time while they're growing, it seems that they are always in need of hiring one more person for a certain department, making the others pick up a little slack, but they do end up actually hiring that person and not stretching the employees for too long. There compensation for overtime is good.

Advice to Senior Management

I would thank them for what they did for me when I was there, and I would ask that they continue their progressive and human ways of dealing with their employees.
