Pros

Retirement program best I've seen. 401k, employee stock ownership program and pension. Free health insurance to employees. Low pressure sales with an easy product to sell... just keep the shelves full with the right flavors and it sells itself. Very strong growing company. They seem to be very careful about not growing to fast. That being said every couple years they open up a new market and very quickly take over that area. Room to move up if you're willing to move.

Cons

Tends to be a good ol' boy management style. If you can't get along with your manager there is no way to get around them. Work to life balance is off. Lots of hours, early mornings and limited vacation time makes for burnt out employees.

the people are nice to work with..

Cons

The hours are the worse getting up at 1:30am to be at work at 3:00 am and u might not get off until 3 or 4 in the afternoon no time for your family... this job is not worth the time .. and the pay is not great.. and they make you pay for your uniforms...

Pros

Great CEO. Paul Kruse. He is the son of the founding brother of the company.

Cons

Manager of the department that I worked in would harass certain employees on a regular basis. He would favor certain employees also. This manager has only worked for Blue Bell and no other company so he does not know what anything else looks like except for Blue Bell.
