Blue Bell Creameries reviews

Work/life balance is abysmal. During the hiring process, they mentioned that it's a very physical job with long hours, but I was not expecting up to 70 hours per week. It's not unusual at all to go for 12 to 14 hours without a break. Three a.m. starts leave little time for family or other commitments. "Chinese Overtime" adjusts your rate of overtime pay so that you're compensated less the longer you work. Although you work alone, you have little to no independence due to micromanagement.

If you get stuck working at the wrong branch or the wrong people are placed in management there that are racist, sexist, or play favorites then your done for. I have been with blue bell for sometime and have trained at other locations before I came to Richmond, Va. branch and I have to say that the 3 that run this location should all be fired to demoted based off the way they treat others below them. I have seen race play a factor in how you are treated there and sex as well. Also, if your over a certain age there is no need to apply because they will never call you back. These 3 managers make working at this location seem like hell due to the way they talk to you and go after you once your working there and you are not up to their standards. I could say calling the HR department in regards to this problem will not help due to others doing this and still nothing has been done to them any of them. Stay away from this branch....!
