Lack of pay for promotions hinders growth opportunities - Route Sales Representative Blue Bell Creameries Employee Review

Pros

Benefits are good. If you have good supervisors you aren’t micromanaged and get help when needed. The work is pretty straightforward if physically demanding at times

Cons

Pay could be better-hasn’t kept up with inflation over the past couple years. Opportunities for promotion require you take a pay cut (or work significantly more hours for the same annual salary-ie a pay cut), which pretty much means that you’re stuck either taking the pay cut, stagnating as a driver or looking for opportunities elsewhere. Pay for support staff in the office and shipping is abysmal (shipping clerks have left to make more working at McDonald’s). This leads to tons of turnover in those positions requiring drivers and supervisors to pick up the slack and do things like help load trucks and work the office.

Cons

- Nepotism - HR not on-site, so things swept under the rug that should be addressed - Low barrier of entry = revolving door of reps/merchandisers - No upward movement unless someone retires or quits, or you relocate - Frustrating receiver/store issues - Lack of communication and support from Territory Managers, Route Supervisors swamped with work and not able to support due to heavy workload
