Pros
Great team of tenured associates at the site level to rely on. The company does everything to the extreme, and the only pro with that is that you will learn a lot that most other companies do not require you to know, thus could be beneficial to any future endeavors.
Cons
Current middle and upper management, at the regional level, are either incompetent, inadequate, inappropriate, unprofessional, or a mixture of all of the aforementioned. It is hard to work under someone when you know just as much as they do, and you pay for their inadequacy through their micro-management of you and your site to make up for their lack. Upper management's idea of assistance is a profanity-laced "pep talk" during a 20 minute visit to your site, in which she doesn't even step outside of the office to see for herself what the true challenges are. The company has become so far removed from their Core Values. The culture of this company has significantly declined in recent years. Today's Bell is not the Bell I came to work for all of those years ago. That is, in large part, a result of the middle and upper management they put in place. Sites are understaffed, and more is always being asked of the site associates. When does upper management work? Another procedure is not needed, another process is not needed. Get out in the field and get to know your associates, get to know your sites, and get to know what they need in order to be successful.
