Had been working vs. had worked (a particular instance)

"Did you hear that Ben was fired last month? He had been working for that import company for more than ten years and he had worked in almost every department. Nobody knew the company like he did."

Is there also possible to use: had been working instead of had worked?

Thanks a lot.
