Bell Bank reviews

They don't encourage moving up, they would rather hire people from outside the company. These people then come in and change the culture. Pay is horrible for hourly employees. There are people working there more than 10 years who could leave and make more at McDonalds. The yearly raises are lower than cost of living increases in most areas. In the 10 plus years I was there they never did an across the board pay cost of living increase, just the low 3-5% raises every year. So many employees are forced to have second sources of income just to survive. Micromanagement from many managers is horrible. The few good managers that are there get bullied by the managers above them.

The last merger/acquisition kind of broke the camel's back. It has drained a lot of energy from the managers of Bell Mortgage trying to sort through different management styles, different IT systems, different ways of doing business, etc. So much of their time is spent dealing with the company which was acquired that they lost track of the greatness of the company that was. Its sad to watch these growing pains and disenchantment with current employees. I hope they can get it all sorted out.
