Pros

free ice cream, looks good on a resume, off every sunday, get to work independently get off early on saturdays

Cons

pay starts off decent but never really increases over the years, when you get a promotion you make less money and still pretty much do the same work. a driver may make $45-$47k and a supervisor will make $42k. Get a promotion after supervisor and you make even less than that. Management is not good at all, too much favoritism, no respect for family life unless you are the bosses pet. The first inclination they get that you want to improve your life (go to school, start a part time business) and it doesn't include Blue Bell they begin to treat you differently. ridicule you and scrutinize you excessively. Also management is very unfair, rules don't apply to everyone there. Only the ones that they want to enforce them on. It was a great place to work 5 years ago but if you want to advance and grow this isn't the place for you. benefits are horrible too, Blue Bell runs their own health insurance and they will refuse to pay anything they can, for a spouse it costs $290/ month for the premium.

Pros

You are able to usually get days off when you need to get things done ... Free and discounted ice cream. The women (whom work the hardest) are all pretty sweet. I worked at the small creamery by the way .... (the "Snack Plant") Also, your benefits are much better then many places.

Cons

HORRIBLE pay .... I know of people who have been there for 25 plus years and are barely making it, the women that is. It is such a sexist place, There are NO women managers / supervisors. You are sexually harassed by a few men. The women work the hardest while the men stand around and "wait" for a machine to mess up. I don't know how one survives being a new employee here. Your starting pay is 8.00 an hour and you work HARD ... the women clean the machines at the end of the day. Everyone I have talked to is miserable at this location and I will be making a formal complaint with human resources as well as the "big wigs" and OSHA!!!
