Pros

Free ice cream on breaks, CO-OP program with the local high school, hiring process was not too difficult, you can take off days as needed.

Cons

The pay was terrible, Your superiors and coworkers are terrible, and this town and company in general are terrible. I was shocked to see how the people in this town behave. I moved here with my husband because of a job transfer and I never expected this town to be so backwards and unwelcoming. I'm surprised I even received the job, not being a Brenhamite myself. I was definitely treated differently after people learned I was from another town. Everyone in Brenham is extremely narrow minded and rude. If you're from out of town no one is excepting and I've heard it takes an upward of 20 years for people to even consider you worthy of being included. The people act very cliquish at any age. I felt like I was in high school all over again. The men here are very sexist, racist and ignorant. The woman work the hardest and are not rewarded for this. No women ever receive promotions. Minimum wage without the chance of growth for women is not fair by any account. I would not recommend this job to anyone unless you are born and raised in Brenham and have the same small town outlook on life and never plan on changing or making enough money to support a family.

Pros

Nice people, low pressure, easy product to sell. This is the sort of place you spend 30 years at and retire very secure. Good opportunities to move up if you are a young professional with some ability.

Cons

The grocery industry is tough. Most of your customers operate on low margins.

Pros

Good insurance benefits, christmas bonus, summer picnics, a few good hardworking teammates.

Cons

Over worked and under paid. Hiring former employees from Competitors in the ice cream industry i.e Dreyers and Nestle. competitors bring over negative programed behavior that diminishes the workplace quality especially when placed in lead positions upon arrival or all together in general. Gossiping in order to make yourself look 'good' is rewarded rather than hard work and dedication. disrespect and negative attitudes become the norm every other day. While most are never given what they really deserve and those who don't deserve typically are.
