It is a great place to work. Everybody is friendly and kind. You meet loads of different people and get loads of customer service experience. It’s a wonderful for a first job, part-time job, and full-time. The vibe there is just amazing.

Small cute place to sit and have ice cream
Manager Assistant (Former Employee) – New York, NY – September 18, 2018
Ben and Jerry’s can do better as a company and stores need a little more work. Employees need benefits. Also they need to be treated better. Should have payed vacation and sick days.

Shift Leader (Current Employee) – Cambridge, MA – September 4, 2018
Working here prepares you for positive attitude and great customer service. While working here I’ve learned to maintain a positive attitude and have a fun one serving customers and meeting people. Along with the business side I’ve leared how to take inventory and order materials for my job and handle my shop alone on shifts.

Great company
Assistant Manager (Current Employee) – Ridgewood, NJ – August 26, 2018
Great company to work for. overall friendly environment. Fast paced during the busy season and a lot of down time during the off season. great morals within the company from corporate all the way through the to the franchises.
Easy mind numbing work
Manager (Former Employee) – Rancho Cucamonga, CA – August 22, 2018
Perfect for a high school grad or a college freshmen. This is an easy job that requires minimal effort and even less responsibility. Have fun tasting ice cram all day, just make sure not to over indulge in samples and switch up your scooping arm.
Don't work here
cashier, keyholder (Former Employee) – Ventura, CA – August 9, 2018
Owner is a pervert and an alcoholic. Management is nonexistent. Had to work 6+ days a week and overtime was unpaid. I walked out and they begged me to come back because all of the employees were quitting.
Nice enviroment

Fast-paced and flexible workplace
Supervisor / Off-Premise Manager (Current Employee) – Uncasville, CT – July 30, 2018
Ben & Jerry's continues to be an outstanding company to work for as far as community involvement and valuing their staff is concerned. The location I work for is particularly busy so it makes for a quick -feeling work day. The job entails a decent amount of light lifting (Nothing over 30 lbs. usually), and involves a heavy amount of standing and walking.
Pros
30 minutes for break (paid)
Cons
Sometimes overwhelming amount of customers
Dirty and unorthodox
Scooper/Cashier (Former Employee) – Mount Kisco, NY – July 30, 2018
Managers were extremely rude and treated everyone below them inferior. I worked extremely hard and was still treated like garbage. Would not recommend anyone to work here.
Pros
Free ice cream on the job
Cons
Rude managers
Fun workplace with diverse staff
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Myrtle Beach, SC – July 21, 2018
The staff is a collection of unique individuals who create a truly inclusive and welcoming atmosphere with excellent customer service at the center of every employee's focus.

Retail Associate / Scoopers (Former Employee) – Burlington, VT – June 16, 2018
A typical day at work was organized and efficient if you understood your job. Everyone was friendly and helped each other work and move forward, help when needed. I Really enjoyed the people and company itself, it was good to know I was working for a company that worked for the community and respected me as a worker and person.
Pros
lunch break, free ice cream, discount, nice people, steady work, good pay
Great company with good leadership and a positive mission
Manager (Former Employee) – Alexandria, VA – June 13, 2018
I loved working for the company however the local management was lacking in professionalism. I was able to learn a lot and advance based on my skills.
Productive and really fun workplace
Shift Leader (Current Employee) – San Francisco, CA – June 12, 2018
As a Ben & Jerry's employee I learned about the importance of customer service to sale high priced items, it was more about the experience we give to the customer more than the product itself and that's something I always strive for in any work environment.
Fun Productive
Ice cream scooper and janitor (Former Employee) – Downtown Pittsburgh – June 1, 2018
Overall I had a great time working there but it was only temporary. I was only 17 turning 18 so it was a great work experience but I have moved on to better living because I am now to how and have responsibilities that needs to be tend to.
Stressful environment
Scooper/Cashier (Former Employee) – Cape May, NJ – May 30, 2018
I worked at Ben & Jerry's for a whole summer, I worked atleast 50 hours every week which is good but eventually it got to be too much. If you work well with people you will be fine but at first its a bit crazy. Overall it was an okay job but the manager (owner) would treat me like I had no idea how to do anything even after an entire year of working here. I asked for a raise the following year after being the go to employee all summer and busting my butt and they told me they weren't doing raises therefor I left. Other employees would call out or just not show up and I would constantly pick up their slack and got no respect.
Pros
Good money, lots of hours available, ice-cream is good
Cons
Management (owner)
Ben and Jerry’s
Scooper/Cashier (Current Employee) – Braintree, MA – May 29, 2018
Some days at Ben and Jerry’s were good. Some were bad. During the summer it gets stressful becuase of the lines, and it is hectic behind the line, on rainy days it’s slow and boring. There’s never really an inbetween. The managers are harsh and not very lenient, but the coworkers are nice people and good people. The policies at Ben and Jerry’s are strict, and if you like it like that then I’d suggest to work there
Pros
50% off
Cons
Short breaks
