Bell Employee Reviews for Sales Consultant

Commission is garbage compared to competitors and management is hit or miss. Most people are annoying and add you in Whatsapp Group Chats where they are always messaging outside work hours.

Pros

Easy good benefits

Cons

Management

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - London, ON - 22 October 2022

if you are male and good at sales this would be a great job for you. if you are a woman advancement within the company is rare. but because its sales you are always expected to sell more. good luck with in person sales when everything is moving online!

Everything great

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Market Mall - 4 October 2022

The job is great. Salary is great. Target is genuine. Management should be more in sales role and be on ground. Coaching needs improvement. Salary is good. Should introduce greeters.

Great place to work

Sales Consultant (Current Employee) - Kamloops, BC - 19 August 2022

I really enjoyed my time at Bell as a Sales Consultant! I would love to work at the company again if given the opportunity, However, I do feel that they were not able to help me with my mental health at the time even though they are advocates of mental health support. They asked me to resign, when I needed 3 weeks off. Other than that, I would love to work for Bell again

Mediocre

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Richmond Hill, ON - 16 March 2022

They laid everyone off w no pay during Covid which was underwhelming and showed how much they really cared about their employees. Their benefits are very basic tbh, stocks are kinda useless too. Easy place to work at, repetitive work.

Great company to work at if you are a student and need a part time job.

SALES CONSULTANT (Former Employee) - Alberta - 31 December 2021

I worked as a full time sales associate for more than 4 years. I was lucky to have awesome managers 80% of the time and cuz of them i found the job enjoyable, as long as you have very decent sales numbers you will be fine. Personally I think the company did a lot to give u great benefits. You have to work evenings many times but if you help your manager she(or he) will give u the days off you need.

Pros

Very decent job-life balance. Ninety percent of the managers (I worked with) were awesome.

Cons

for most best traffic locations they hire externally first and promote internally second.

Poor company culture

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - British Columbia - 6 March 2021

Too much politician. People are thing to make sure their bosses are happy. Some store managers don't know how to be a store managers. They get mad if you don't lie to the customers to get the sales.

Don’t get sucked in.

Sales Consultant (Current Employee) - British Columbia - 21 February 2021

This company will say anything to snow you into thinking this is a career. It is not. Very deceptive company, no work/life balance and constant stress. They say no day is the same and they were right. The environment is a constant hot and cold atmosphere. If you sell, they like you.

Pros

Decent pay for the job

Cons

No work life balance, constant pressure to upsell, pressure to do what’s right for the company not the customer, no breaks

A good company to work for!

Sales Consultant (Current Employee) - Red Deer, AB - 17 January 2021

I’ve been working for bell for over 2 years. I feel management really really makes or breaks the job and your ability to succeed is very much dependant on the quality of training you receive from your management!

Pros

Benefits, steady work, commission + hourly pay

Cons

Irate customers, a lot of mental strain, standing all day

Great place to work if you have good coworkers.

Sales Consultant (Current Employee) - British Columbia - 20 August 2020

The people are definitely what make the job for me. I've had a team full of awesome coworkers and a team with some who wouldn't pull their slack or put very little effort in which made the job horrid. Most of the time, you're simply waiting around for customers to come in so you can sell them something. If the other person you're with for those 8 hours isn't very likable, you're going to spend a lot of time staring at your phone counting the minutes.The corporate culture can be very draining. There is a lot of kool-aid being passed out in district wide group chats which gets annoying.The job really comes down to both if your manager is a decent person and if you have a good team of people to work with.

Pros

Decent wage/comission

Cons

Sometimes the changes that corporate implement make no sense.

Good entry-level sales job

Good learning experience getting into sales. Decent pay if you can do your job and get sales. Wish they staffed better, they usually keep budgets super low

Pros

Hourly plus commission

Cons

Stressful, usually understaffed

Good starter job

Sales Consultant (Current Employee) - Calgary - 12 June 2020

No job security but a good cultural environment. People are nice and helpful. Some managers are just amazing, really good mentors. This company supports diversity big time. HRs are supportive too but overall the company is probably going down that you never know when they might lay you off.

Pros

Good culture, good people, good commission and benefits structure

Cons

Low job security, not much growth opportunity, don't keep fake hopes of getting somewhere even after achieving good numbers at sales

B2B Sales Consultant(short term contract) (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 8 February 2020

Fun environment, but no Job security, also pay is not great. Typical call center work ethic. Good to place work if you are new to Canada. But not long term.

Pros

Fun environment

Cons

But no Job security, also pay is not great.

Not recommended for people who like job security.

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Greenwood, NS - 4 February 2020

I did not enjoy working for this company. Reaching your targets every month is stressful. I was warned about this job but did not listen. You'll feel pressured to be someone you are not. They should be ashamed of the personal improvement program. Putting an employee on this program before they have been working a half a year is extremely unfair it put unnecessary stress on me

Great Organaization

Field Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Ontario - 2 February 2020

Bell is a great place to work and make money if someone workes at Sales Dept. But now lot's of option for the customers to lookup with Bell. Company should do something for Field Sales people because it's very hard to get 1 sale from door to door. And it's very hard job and people don't trust them, disrespecte the Bell rep. Thanks

Friendly co-workers with a stressful position

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Burlington, ON - 27 January 2020

While this was my entry into the customer service field and I am grateful to the manager who hired me, I never felt like I was looking out for the customer's best interests. I was informed to not disclose certain things in contracts and other slightly shady things to try and get as much out of the customer as possible and I never felt comfortable doing that.

Poor management, bad company culture

Sales Consultant (Former Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 15 January 2020

The manager is way too target focused. He forced us to lie to the customers in order to get more sales. There is no job security. Store Manager is always the one who started the internal conflict. Store manager tried his best to please the regional manager.
