Pros

the relaxed environment is ideal, great people where i feel i have made life long friendships, great vacation time and sick time

Cons

It's a little frustrating when every 6 months a new lay-off rumor comes around and compensation once you're in the company takes too long to get to a competitive level

Pros

It really depends on what motivates you. If you are about the money, then this is a good place to work.

Cons

You can not get anything accomplished because there is much protocol that stops the company from progressing. There are a lot of closed minded, pig headed, short term thinkers who don't want to see change because it scares them or goes above what they can comprehend. Technology advancements are to be avoided because they already have a system that "works". When they do make a technological advance, it's usually an uniformed choice, not based on experience or experienced advice or one watered down by costs that, in the end, hamper the original goal of lean manufacturing or cost savings. There are a lot of people that don't have any hands on experience in manufacturing other than on paper. It's like the owner of a car telling the mechanic how to tune that car when all the owner has done is read about it or had someone else tell them about tuning a car. If you are motivated by the success of developing something meaningful that works to advance the company, have people listen to you and not be frightened or threatened by your experience, you won't be happy here.

Pros

Bell is a great paying company. Direct management does not micromanage and allows worker to use their strengths.

Cons

Bell is an extremely slow moving company. I have been an intern for 3 months and they are just now getting to talking to me about future employment.
