    Pros

    Bell values their employees and encourage long term service over short term stents jumping around from place to place. They also encourage trying other rolls to diversify, learn new trades and talents to further one's growth and opportunities.

    Cons

    Silos do exist in certain organizations and like any place of work, totalitarians and poor leaders do also exist Best way to avoid this is to research and ask around. Do the legwork before you jump.
