Caspers Ice Cream

I started this job as a line worker (bottom of the chain) and I had never done production before. I had an amazing Manager and co-workers that were so patient in teaching me everything I know. I was never left on my own to just "figure it out'. After my Manager quit, I was placed in a lead position after a short period of time. I was grateful for the opportunity. While the learning process was very rushed and some days very hard, my co-workers and leads from other lines were always there to support me and help me grow. They  would help me keep my chin up on difficult days, and cheer me on on GREAT days!!

Through great management and caring HR department, I was offered yet another amazing opportunity to move within the company. I took it, and it has been the best job I have ever had. I plan to be here for the long run! This company is only growing and being a part of that, is exciting! 

Lets be honest, all jobs have hard, stressful days. No one escapes those. The difference is, here at Casper's, you are treated as family and others come along side you. From a line worker to the CEO, your best interests always matter here!

They are very organized here and have an amazing Safety Department with a Manager who really cares about YOUR safety. An HR department that truly listens and wants to place you in the right spot within the company. Floor leads and Managers who are knowledgable and want to see you grow. All around, a great company to work for.

The managers take a break from their jobs and do a BIG cookout for everyone, and you don't want to miss it! The food is always amazing and as much as you want, everyone looks forward to it! The parties they have are beyond awesome and they are always giving away fun stuff. 

If you show up everyday with a positive attitude, this company will take you places and trust me, you WANT to be a apart of it!!



Unless you’re related to someone in management, don’t work for the mix department. They will choose a relative who has worked there for less than a year and isn’t fully trained to be a shift lead over someone who’s been there for 3 years and knows what they’re doing.
If you get hired on for day or swing shift, they’ll probably force you to move to grave shift and tell you they don’t need you anymore if you have to stay on the shift they hired you on to in the first place.
When I was hired I was supposed to be on swing shift part-time. Couple weeks in work full time on grave shift and afterwards they moved me to full time day shift. 
You will be guilt tripped for calling in sick and they will force you to come in occasionally because they don’t care and no one else can cover. They will give you attendance points and the only way to get rid of those is to sacrifice your Saturday. Staying an hour late on the weekday will not do anything for your attendance points even if you were only 15 minutes late because of weather conditions. 
They’ll tell you you can work your way up in the company through “hard work” but they have their minds made up because they play favorites. 
I had too many attendance points at one point and was told I couldn’t get my raise until I worked them off. I went in nearly every Saturday for a few months and finally got them worked off and was told I couldn’t get a raise because I needed “more training” and the “prerequisites” I needed to complete weren’t done. Do you think they gave me a chance to be trained on those prerequisites after that? Nope. I was the only one on my shift mixing in the building I was in so there was no time or effort made for me to finish that checklist. 
Left shortly after that. 
I got more raises from the company-wide dollar raises than I did from my department manager. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
They care about each and every employee! And you can take home free ice cream (almost every day if you wanted). 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s a production line job where you’re on your feet working almost non-stop for your entire shift. Plan on enduring some physical stress almost everyday. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Although it can be fast paced and it’s a lot of hard work, my time working there was almost always somewhat fun with my coworkers and bosses. While we took the job seriously making the ice cream. We could also joke and laugh with each other about our daily lives. Definitely a place you can make some friends while keeping a professional work standard. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As soon as you get there you do your stretches (to help lower the risk of you from pulling a muscle or other minor injury). And then after that, your on a line making ice cream rotating positions every hour for on average, 9 hours Monday-Friday (with the rarely occasional Saturday).

The company management seems bent upon running the company out of business, they say that they want the job to be done right, but at the end of the day they insist on getting the job done quickly, they do not seem to care if the paperwork for the product is correct, or even done in many cases. They will gladly jerry rig a fix to a problem, but never actually address the underlying causes so long as things are done on time, then complain when the root causes of said problem persist. Also the culture of just get the job done as quick as possible runs from top to bottom with scheduling of production following what seems to be what needs to be done now instead of running in such a manner as to not have to change machine setups back and forth every few days, or sometimes from one day to the next. Example running product 1 then switching to product 2 then back to product 1 the very next day.

The last two years Casper's has been going slowly downhill and seems to be getting worse. Evaluations and raises are not common. People that are favorites can be 'approved' special privledges such as to be working above their positions payscale because it's inconvenient for them to work for less. If you are not someones favorite you will probably not advance in this company nor recieve proper training. When there are strong reliable workers, they are often undervalued. No consistency in managment decisions. Lots of drama in lots of departments.
On the brighter side though you do get an employee lunch almost once a month. This job is definitely not for career advancement, but just to earn some money while doing school or other things in your life. Company used to be alot better when I first started working here 4 years ago.

Typical food manufacturing, there are are good days and tough days.  Upper management is trying to do what it takes to move the company in the right direction to become industry leaders but there are some growing pains.  Very friendly, family oriented company which does not try to push too much overtime onto the employees so that they can be home with families. There is internal training but sometimes it is a little lacking and not followed as well as it should be, but things are improving. 
Casper's does like to promote within and pushes employees to learn and grow within the company when and where the employee shows promise. 
Overall this is a good place to work and gain some very valuable experience.

This is a great company with management that not only care about the bottom line of the company, but also care about each individual employee. With all the snow we had last year the senior management was concerned with the amount of snow on the roof. The president of the company with some VP's got on the roof and spent four days removing snow...the impact; all available other employees volunteered to go up as possible and help. No one was forced everyone wanted to work together. The morale and comradery here is excellent! 
 Lot's of little perks: free ice cream seconds, great break room, understanding managers and management, friendly/clean work place. This is the best company I have worked for. 

Overall not bad, work isn’t too tough, management isn’t too harsh. But very frustrated with raises and many people are recently, post pone after post pone of review just to be told no raise. When I asked for a reason they deflected the question, my manager did, HR did, upper management did. No one would/ could give me a reason I would not be getting that raise, perfect attendance, (less than 2 call ins per year over multiple years) consistently good reviews from my boss and peers. When I asked “what should I focus on to get my next raise” I was told “nothing specifically you are doing great”. I have never had any behavioral issues and have always been someone my coworkers go to with questions.

With new leadership are being changed in a knee jerk reactionary fashion to try and keep up with production demands. Some of the policies enforce more strict hiring standards and that will result in multiple people losing their jobs due to policies being applied retroactively to current employees. Breaks are entirely subject to your shift supervisor, both how long they are and whether you even get them. You do have to be a favorite to get promoted with some supervisors. If your family likes the products then yes the free ice cream is a great perk and you can usually request a box from any current run if you talk to anyone above a line worker on any line.

I have honestly had nothing but great experiences with Casper's. I don't think I've ever worked for a better company. Everyone, especially management, is very friendly and supportive and they really do care about each and every person that works there. I have never felt more appreciated for doing my job that I do here. There is plenty of potential to grow and advance within the company. They have great benefits, paid holidays and PTO, and amazing monthly employee appreciation lunches. Management is really easy to talk to and to voice your concerns to if you have them. Overall a great environment to work in, I would highly recommend working at Casper's.
