Bell Canada Employer Reviews

Sales of products and services for Bell.
Upsale to exsiting customers and new sales for new clients.

What I appreciated most about working at Bell Canada was the corporate culture, which was both positive and motivating. There was an emphasis on continuous learning; atendance of external and internal courses, workshops and seminars was mandatory and kept us apprised of the latest advances technologically and within our individual areas of expertise, – more... such as marketing. As importantly, this opportunity to learn inspired us to improve at our jobs and fostered highly professional working relationships amongst teams. It's a great place to work! – less

Work life is good.
learned lots of things technologies like CRM, CSM,
telecom billing etc.

When you join the staff appoint you a 'buddy' who is a senior associate who works with you for 3 weeks and answers any questions, while assigning your first projects. They regularly check on you to ensure you are meeting deadlines.

We would start with an early group meeting, the designers would have a group critique, we went around the table and shared – more... our ideas and offered suggestions.

It was highly collaborative and we were encouraged to interact with colleagues and often I was asked for help with Adobe software - key shortcuts in Photoshop, how to achieve a certain effect in Illustrator, how to make an interactive PDF.

One thing I learned: how to be a better team player by seeing the needs of the group over my own, always listening to others' suggestions and not being afraid to ask for help.

Another thing I learned: Understand design briefs and work under strict branding rules and take criticism from the senior director, who was known for being very blunt and honest.

The management was very personable and had an open door policy, and would have weekly dialogue meetings where the graphic designers would discuss a topic or learn a new skill, such as proper masking in Photoshop.

The hardest part of the job attending the occasional last minute meeting hosted by the senior director when a conflict arises in a department and he would call upon those persons and hold them accountable. Referred to as "the rain of fire".

Most enjoyable part of the job, being there from 8 am - 5... as late as 10 pm, when our boss would buy us dinner.

Interactive Workshops were held that covered various topics in ethics, such as Conflict Resolution in the workplace. – less

Answering customers requests in a well mannered envoiurment

Very challenging job, well paying, community focused company.

There was never a routine day. Changing priorities as the day progressed whether it be due to the Executives or yourself. Interacting with co-workers to obtain information for reports. New software implementation always created a challenge. Interaction with so many different individuals was most enjoyable.

Informing customers that their equipment had – more... been used fraudulently and educating them on fraud prevention was difficult. – less

Great sales job and commission
Lots of training on products and services

I enjoyed the sales atmosphere, people and the customers. I liked to challenges set through daily sales targets providing prizes.

Bell gave me the opportunity to develop and grow my expertise in a variety of disciplines from Software Development Program Manager, Business Continuity Planner to Security Operations Director.
Bell is a company I highly recommend to professionals looking for a career in any aspect of IT and customer service.

It was always a good day at Bell Canada working with the techs on line and giving them the info they needed to complete their job and make the customer happy. I learned a great deal of infomation over the years and a great place to work with my co-workers. The most enjoyable part of the job was leaving at the end of the day and knowing you are leaving – more... with so many happy customers. – less

Great company with good benefits, stock options. I used to really enjoy working there and developed many skills within the company to successfully advance my career. Over the years however, the company seemed to change from a company which offered lots of on the job training, to bare minimal. I returned back from a year long maternity leave to be thrown – more... into a very busy sales assistant job with almost no training on the new technology that I was supporting. It was a sink or swim situation. Luckily I managed to learn the new skills (through much stress) and did do well. I always received good performance reviews, Employees are unionized and many have upwards of 25 yrs service, this can be a disadvantage for those with less seniority (I had 13 yrs) as they pick all the premium dates for vacation and many were lazy and non customer focused. I found employees with less service to be more dedicated and customer focused, but would always be first let go due to union. One had to deal with many different departments in order to meet customer deadlines, which often created many unforeseen delays. This was very frustrating, as I always shrived to do the best for my customers and had to often hound various departments in order for them to keep the customers deadline (as some employees really weren`t very customer focused.) It would be a great place to work without these somewhat cantankerous employees and with more on the job training. – less

Seeking a challenging career opportunity in the dynamic field of Sales and marketing, in which, I can utilize my qualifications and gain experience, add value and share my previous experiences and to help junior staff understand how to work as one team and how to provide a professional quality service, and gain customer satisfaction within a cost effective – more... manner. – less

Working at this company was the best decision. This Company taught me the system not only to work in a job field and also in general life.
~ Be Prepared
~ Be On Time
~ Work Full Day
~ Work Turf Right And Tight
~ Know Your Goals
~ Take Control
Companies system made so motivated that i get to team leader in a week from entry level consultant. Best part – more... of the job was to be consistent in the production which i made it possible , Consistently high rolling and getting more deals than any body else in the office and getting recognitions every day were my achievements. The hardest part of this job was to be motivated even the day was bad with no deals, but being motivated and being happy was not a big deal for me , most of the time i had no deals up til end but i extra milled and got deals .

I was always prepared for the next day no matter what happened in the past, always before time, loved working long hours even if it was the time to go back to office. Before starting a day i had my goals in my goal sheet which the description of how to achieve those and monthly goals too. Working with the system and being motivated every time helped me to take control on my goals. – less

I had a lot of different experiences and job opportunities in this company. It is like a family envirnoment. Overall a good place to work in.

A good place to gain experience and customer service skills, advancement is slow, and appreciation is shown when you maintain your stats.
