Cain Petroleum Inc.

I absolutely loved my location and the people who worked alongside me in the store, and my district coordinator was one of the hardest working people I've met and an awesome leader. Everything else was less than desirable. They pay the people working in the stores a hardly livable wage, while overloading them with unattainable expectations. Store managers have way too much on their plates, and victories are hardly celebrated while every mistake or short-coming is always the primary focus. Required to work 9 hour days, but salary is calculated based on 8. So in reality, I was making about $2.25/hr less than the wage listed on pay stub. Hard workers who are good at their jobs beware: they will take you for granted and treat you as disposable. Definitely play favorites so those lucky enough to be on that list get away with anything and everything, while others get nit-picked and reprimanded for the littlest things, often the very same things that go unnoticed if done by someone who is favored. If you value yourself and your time, don't waste it working here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
My District   Coordinator and Store manager for the Happy Valley store

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being able to take full 10 minutes breaks 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

"The environment at the Happy Valley Chevron is unfortunately childish and petty. It’s disheartening to see that those who work hard and show up consistently are the ones who end up being punished, while others get a free pass. On a positive note, the Store Manager and District Coordinator are fantastic—both professional and supportive. However, the co-workers often make it difficult to foster a positive and productive work environment, as their behavior undermines the effort and dedication of those who take their responsibilities  seriously 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Your the only one working cleaning completing tasks while the others get to smoke packs of cigarettes and not do anything but talk on the phone and video call in their phone exposing you to the video without permission

Over worked,  brutal long days on your feet, running an entire gas station plus a store solo for 5+ hours during peak times - not an easy task. 
The drama here was absolutely ridiculous, the employees were brash and the “managers” and higher ups were the type that would smile at you one second and then throw you under the bus the next. The bad mouthing of employees to other employees was a daily occurrence. What an awful work environment. The locations were dirty; and the accountability for keeping a standard was shameful. Wage was terrible, constant misleading and conflicting information, and told holidays were paid that weren’t. They also intended to short me on my hours, and more than one paycheck, I would give warning to anyone even considering a job with Cain. 

They pay their assistant store managers $16.50 an hour and store managers are paid $37k-$42k a year salary with at least 50 hours a week required. If you break that down, that's $14 dollars an hour before taxes. The store manager that was hired right before I left seemed to be on some sort of substance and was barely able to communicate. Which is probably why they accepted such a low salary. An employee who was sick for a few weeks and soon as they came back management reduced their hours. Based off of all the job hunting I've done, you could do the same job with the same duties for more pay and more hours. Just keep looking in my opinion.

Reluctantly offering horrible benefits to employees while underpaying them for hard, unrewarding work. A lack of significant sick time and zero vacation days after a year or more of employment gives employees zero incentive to work hard or to even stay for a long period of time. 

Employee safety has never been a concern  and you're just another cog in the machine. 

Upper management has no clue how to run its stores or how day to day operations are actually performed yet insist on interfering with them, usually causing more problems than helping.

A typical day consist in dealing with juggling 99 obstacles at the store level all while upper management screams from their little cubicles and micro manage you, & hinder you from running YOUR STORE! It’s actually just a chain to make the owner money honestly. There’s ZERO benefits! The people at the store level are great just on the grind just like you and just trying their best with what they got. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the extreme upper mismanagement & disconnect from a cute cubicle to the store level in the field.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Idk probably when I hit to be outside doing landscape type work lol 🤣

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the bad people that like to cause trouble 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Idk at the stores great but you got some management that lack the experience and I think HR pay is very nice on the phone but a great idea for that company would be for the HR Lady to take an outing and introduce yourself to your employees and communicate the importance of human resources!!! The people nee that

I was hired on as manager. And as manager I only make a dollar more than minimum wage. Also, it doesnt matter how long you work for the company. You will never see a raise. Ever. They don't care how many employees they go through. They reward their office ladies and district managers, but anyone lower than that, they don't give a hoot about. Just...apply to a different gas station. Not Cain. Also, they force you to stay on site for your non paid lunches. You're off the clock but you aren't allowed to leave to go get food.

They will tell you anything to get to work for them but they will not ever keep them. They treat you like you don't matter and don't want to pay overtime so to keep from that they work 14 people at one location and give them one or 2 days a week and keep your schedule so messed up you can't get a second job. They will tell you exactly what you want to hear and may even make it look like they fix the problem but in reality they are just hiding the lube so you don't expect the jab

It is laid back for the most part. however, on occasion it can be overwhelming; and responsibilities can be dropped onto who is  in charge/running the store at that time. It goes unseen that problems that would other wise hinder the station close to inoperable, are solved. I've watched my co-worker come in off the clock and Handel present scheduling while we were short handed in place of management.
