Bell Helicopter Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked as an intern at Bell Flight during the Summer of 2020. They were very accommodating and worked hard to get interns an in-person internship during a difficult time. It is a good company in good position to perform well into the future, but it can be bogged down by it's parent company, doesn't necessarily pay the best, and doesn't seem to have a lot of upward mobility."

"Great place to work, best supervisor"

"The company has great benefits, tuition reimbursement, low healthcare costs, great vacation time, the whole company shuts down between Christmas and New Years and you get paid for it! The company match for retirement savings is great also."

"Good company with an awesome heritage and mission going through a rough period."

"I worked here at Bell Helicopter for 18 months. This has been a very nice company to work at, and the employees have been great and have great work ethics."

"I worked for Bell Helicopter for 2 years. The general ethics and policies were very well crafted, but had a tendency to be overlooked. The management in my area was of a high quality in general, with problems at the director level. Some very unethical practices were performed that caused losses that had to be controlled by removing employees."

"When coming to the company they were in a transition state using a new database (SAP) which I have prior experience in. But they were in transition with moving assembly to other cities in the U.S. which meant a lot of jobs were at stake so there were a lot of union employees who were afraid of losing their jobs. In my two years there, about 1900 people were being let go unless they wanted to relocate. Bell was also the first company I worked for who was unionized, so that was something new for me. But all in all, my plant had a good moral on an everyday basis, I would ensure they had parts coming in and they would assemble, and I would expedite the parts out, basically working as well put together team."

"I worked for Bell for 14 years. They make cool stuff. Typical aerospace company. Lots of good folks. Lots of opportunity for improvement. Benefits are good. Pay is competitive. Transitioning to new business systems. Subject to government budget so job security is variable."

"I worked for Bell Helicopter for 14 years and I believe Bell to be a good company to work for, with outstanding customer commitment and competitive compensation."

"I've worked for Bell for several years and still do. For every 1 good thing you find about the company, there are at least 2 or more bad ones. They lay off good employees to bring in cheaper replacements, but constantly preach recruiting the best talent. Management and their attempt at this lean manufacturing is going to run this place into the ground just like what happened at GM. I'll be starting a blog soon so make sure to search in the next month or so......."

"Bell is a good place to work and grow as a professional."

"I worked at Bell for about 8 years. I enjoyed the experience while there and gained many skills for what I want to do as my career. For those that prefer a more creative workplace, look elsewhere."

"The management at Bell Helicopter was pretty good. They always treated me with respect. I could always go to them for assistance with my day to day activities. The work environment was average. My co-workers were great and very helpful. The compensation structure was lacking. No incentives, such as bonuses at the end of the year. The merit raises were poor each year. Overall, it was an average place to work."

"Bell is a big company in US, however, it got some financial difficulty now."
