Pros

Working at Kimball's allowed me to form a lot of great long lasting relationships with my co-workers. The atmosphere is incredible, and the food and ice cream is some of the best around. Great place to work as a high school or college student.

Cons

Definitely a lot of favoritism within the ice cream stand. If the manager did not like you on a personal level she would give you minimal hours or the less favorable shifts. I found her to be quite immature at times and often made her stress your problem. Prices grew more and more expensive each season and employees did not have much compensation for their hard work.

Pros

Great for a high school job. It’s a fun environment to work in and there is a “no rules” atmosphere, it’s so disorganized that you can get away with anything. Kimballs can feel like one big family, but it’s a very dysfunctional family.

Cons

New owners took over 6 years ago and are running the business into the ground. They have no experience running a business and every decision they make is based on family drama and politics. The owners hate each other and this has led to about half of the management & long term employees quitting in the last year. The farther you move up the ladder the more you’ll want to leave. There are huge discrepancies in pay. They will pay new employees twice as much as people who have been there for 10+ years. I was told that I could not let anyone know how much I was making. Management will promise you a raise multiple times and then never give it to you. Managers are expected to work 50-60+ hrs/week in the summer, weekends and holidays are mandatory. There is no HR which encourages disgusting and widespread sexual harassment. If you are a woman you will have to watch your back.
