Pros

At one time this was a very good company to work with a strong core of manufacturing and sales.

Cons

A once great company to work for and have a career with has been dismantled by the private equity owner of the last 3 years, Versa Capital. Constant cuts in resources and downsizing of staff and resources resulted in lost market share, compromised customer service and sales success which were the core foundation for decades.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback for Bell and Howell. We do have a rich tradition of strong manufacturing, engineering, and service solutions, based on the work of our dedicated employees. Like many companies, we have had to make some very difficult business decisions over the past few years in order to return the company to a stable financial platform. Making those changes is never easy, and we respect the impact it has had on some of our associates. In the long run, those decisions have positioned us for growth and given us the ability to offer continued employment to a thousand employees. We will continue to look for ways to improve as an organization, to support our employees in their career paths, and to focus on providing innovative and comprehensive solutions for our customers.
