Bell Helicopter Employer Reviews

Enjoy all my co-workers
Work with the application process with companies who want to be International Representatives for Bell
Hardest part of my job is the commute every morning and every evening

Investigating and resolving all issues.
Working at Bell Helicopter is a good place for all kind of engineers.
There are many thing to learn.

Overall, I enjoyed working at Bell Helicopter. I liked my job and liked my management. If there were one thing that they could improve on, it would be to improve the management in the assebly areas there.

Cuts to fire protection and obvious safety issues overlooked or overturned because of the desire to increase the bottom line. The Fire Protection Manager is ultimately held responsible for all fire safety/flight safety related issues but no power, support, or funding is given to support or improve the safety of the department. When safety issues arise – more... the Fire Protection Manager is disciplined for trying to do what's right. It could be that the fire department falls under the direction of an RN-MSN(Nurse), who doesnt have an understanding of emergency services. – less

Bell Helicopter is preparing for a reduction in their defense business, experiencing continuing stiff competition in their commercial markets and is completing a major upgrade of their business systems. Bell Helicopter's product line is reliable and cost effective. Their Customer Service & Support is rated number one in the industry by ProPilot Magazine – more... and AIN Magazine. – less

I would plan out the days activities, I took a 12 man crew down to three people and produced more work then the 12 men did. I enjoyed working with my co-workers. The hardest part of my job was dealing with management but after thirteen years in that position, the only time I saw my boss was when he brought me more prints/jobs.

I love to work

If you are raising children this is an excellent place to work. Amazing benefits and more then fair wage.

1st shift building V-22's for the US Military. Great programs plenty of OT. Bonuses. Company store.

Lots of diversity and different task each day, A very interesting place to work

1. every day is the same
2. learned how to analyze and how to initiate tasks
3. management is not as good as it should
4. co workers - some are great and some are horrible
5. have people to follow the instruction
6. contributing to the company

Varied. learnt more about flight. Management OK. Co-workers broad range. Job need concentration. The best part of the job was the challenge's.

Bell Helicopter has a distinct culture that has to be experienced.

Fun workplace My experience covers many different areas of responsibility within manufacturing and production control. This has included Manufacturing, Process, and Inspection for a wide variety of industries including manufacturing, industrial, facilities and aerospace. The scope has ranged from administrative, to mechanical assembly all the way to – more... inspecting, receiving and storing material. I have always worked effectively in a team environment to implement Lean, 5S, and Root Cause Analysis techniques. – less

I have no complaints about Bell Helicopter. It is a great place to work.

Great job, in my opinion, human resources can be difficult to work with

Very fast paste work environment. Work with all types of people at various levels of the company. Learned in this position there is a lot of gray areas. Management can't always be trusted. Everyone is trying to move to the next level. Enjoyed helping people but did not like or play the politics.

Sometimes it’s great working on a great project, other times its down. The usual grips about working for a company - you figure the only time someone writes a review on here they are looking for a new job so that has to skew their opinion.

Had some great experiences but i am looking for a company that lets you advance based on your work ethic and contributions – more... to the company. Not the old school "time in service" mentality. If you try hard your yearend review calls you average, if you do absolutely nothing you are still average - its borderline communism. – less

Bell Helicopter and Textron as a whole in my experience has been a great company to work for. Fabulous pay and benefits package, including tuition assistance, 401k, stocks etc.
