Pros

Great benefits and holiday schedule. Relevant initiatives to keep the company competitive in the market. Professional atmosphere. Good platforms. Company branding. Training, accounting, IT, risk management, purchasing, marketing - all departments are great resources

Cons

No "real" support from middle management. RMs lack confidence with problem-solving and often leave CMs feeling unsupported and hindered in maintaining the asset. Communication among departments seems poor and trickles down to site level. The company rollout to Yardi has been an absolute living nightmare. I no longer enjoy my job and am certain my feelings and sentiments are echoed by my colleagues. Performance review process very lax and not viewed in a serious light. Ir HR suspects an associate is not performing to their fullest potential a survey will be sent to all reporting associates asking for feedback. This approach is very effective and should be done to all leaders within the company - don't cherry pick your good managers with this, instead you should seek feedback on all of your people to find out what is going on in your company. Little consistency within markets/regions makes it difficult to be transparent.

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.
