Good people but antiquated processes. Lay offs happen all the time.

Pros

Great people, good work/life balance, good salary, great with hiring from within, lots of room for growth, training and development is encouraged, tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Lay offs occur all the time. Therefore many employees are always worried about job security. Lots of gossiping occurs and I am not a dan of that.

Thank you for your comments. Staffing reductions are always a difficult message to hear and we understand that people may be concerned about our future. Over the past several years we have been able to accomplish some great things together and we will do that again.

Pros

Awesome products, lots of opportunity for self-improvement and training provided by company sponsored online training/academic courses. Company also pays tuition assistance to college of choice as long as courses will benefit career with Bell.

Cons

While there are plenty of opportunity for training, however most training provided is only helpful if you plan to relocate or are in the DFW area. Remote sites offer very limited career growth and promotions are politically driven despite training and experience. Salary can be very good if inline management are willing to go the extra mile to get more for employee. But in most cases, increases are only a standard amount annually. It has been an uphill battle to achieve growth and in most instances feel stuck in a midlevel position. Communication is also very hit or miss.
