I would never refer someone to work here. I have 6 years of customer service experience and still received minimum wage. 9.65 an hour. While over charging for benefits if you qualified.

During covid i worked 50-65 hours a week, I covered 3 different stores amd different shifts, worked 12 hour days and still got called in on days I only requested off and asked to not be called in if anything came up, and i was still called in amd guilt tripped if i tried to refuse. 

I applied for many different openings up move up in the company, since I already know how to do everything an assistant manager or manager was responsible for beside bring the money to the bank. I was denied the promotions with empty promises of being my home stores assistant manager once we where fully staffed. Then the company hired from out of the company amd had me trian the new people for the position I was denied. And offered my a shift lead position AFTER they trained someone else who had only bee, there a month,  for the same shift lead spot. Because my married manager like the attention this young man was showing her. My manager would have her Male employees in the back of the store for hours working on projects together, or cleaning out the shed with the door closed for hours. My manager would flirt with this young man and offered her butt to him for rubber band target practice. Disgustingly unprofessional. 

There Is no disaplianary actions taken for employees that would; stand only at the counter all shift and not help with chores or stocking the store, multiple call in or no shows where welcomed back with out addressing the company policy.  Or for employees that didnt have proper training on the lotto machine and would tell the regulars to "just not come in if they saw his truck" 

Training is a joke. Unless you where lucky to get trained by me, one shift behind the register and you where.on your own with out a back up person the next day. 

If you didnt have enough spit in the container for a drug screen the managers would just throw out the test and say you passed anyway. 

Three store owned by Gpm I'm my small town and only two managers, no assistant managers and one store did not have a manager, assistant nor did they even have employees assigned to that store, running for months on fill-in from other stores..... and still refused me and my 6 years of gas station experience to manage that store. 

 Forget about having a day off. Expect to work 3-4 weeks without a day off. Upper management lets store managers struggleand the company gives absolutly no support to its employees. If youre looking at working for this company, you should definitely look elsewhere unless you like being taken advantage of and working like a dog for no pay.

The only thing about my job was that people were generally okay people. They were nice. My coworkers who were also cashiers were nice and chill, but they were just kind of lazy, and expected less of. The manager was really nice and supportive, but she offered me and was going to push me up to a shift lead position, but after a while I heard nothing else. Soon my other coworker suddenly got the position only because she worked an earlier shift in the day, and I was not talked to on whether or not I could flex my hours. I was also expected to carry the slack of the location, as the manager didn't expect anyone else to do things and it left the building in a subpar, disgusting condition. She didn't keep on people to mop daily, keep coffee in the coffee pots fresh, clean fountain nozzles, and even with COVID-19 cleaning was not enforced. I cleaned coffee pots weekly and was the only one to keep coffee fresh as I saw it was very important. It wasn't until later in my career with them that they started making me fill the slushy machines, and as soon as I began to do that, everyone else ceased to also do it, leaving me the only one. I also mopped and swept whenever I could.
GPM also mishandled and mistreated their employees with the onset of COVID-19. I personally worked in an incredibly busy location and we were not given hazard pay. We were given $75 (if full time) worth of loyalty reward points that we could only use in store on food and drink items. We were also not given plastic shields between us and the customers until nearly halfway through the first wave of the pandemic and the manager did not enforce employees to wear face masks. I felt used and unappreciated, especially on one of the front lines of the pandemic. I tried to sanitize my work station but it was all I could do. The manager didn't even wear a face mask unless upper management was at the location so she wouldn't get wrote up.
I personally left because the stress and them overworking me caused me to have a mental breakdown, and my therapist suggested I quit so I did. 

TDLR; This place sucks and don't work here unless you're incredibly desperate for money. The shifts are long and the pay is nothing. You don't even get an employee discount on anything. If you do work here work the graveyard shift if you have to. F*ck this place.

THE GOOD: GPM is a rapidly growing C-Store company. They offer standard benefits with 7 paid holidays, $.50 on the dollar 401K contribution, and carry a solid mission statement the CEO often tries to express and demonstrate in his own day-to-day interactions. GPM's executive team is a competent group with a long history in their respective fields. GPM is always hiring and at lower levels, a very easy company to work for. 

THE BAD: GPM shifts culture to suit market appeasement and forgets the value of the human commodity in the process. 

Poor planning with worse execution is exacerbated by a lack of clear communication at every level. Without a standard of practices and under-sized support/cost centers, GPM suffers from a practical competency issue that erodes morale and increases frustration on completing simple assignments. The upper echelons of corporate and field management don't seem familiar with the adage: 'Measure twice, cut once,' and valuable resources are spent treating symptoms of an issue rather than investigating and resolving the causes - like applying a band-aid to an arterial wound. 

Traning resources are abysmal, falling very short of what is needed to produce competent and self-sufficient employees. This creates a situation where when problems occur, everyone is relying on an overloaded, underfunded, and understaffed support team and shifting blame to the next nearest person. 

Many policies exist but few are enforced, particularly about gossip, employee privacy, and personal/professional integrity. This can create a general unpleasantness behind the scenes with drama and in-fighting or the formation of semi-social cliques.

Lastly, GPM does a poor job of employee appreciation. New employees are treated well at first, but once tenured the growing expectation and extra work someone volunteers in order to be a good teammate is taken for granted and becomes something the mid and upper-level managers feel entitled to, very quickly.

Let me start by saying I took this job originally to work third (11 PM - 7 AM).  I had been without work for six months so I accepted the overnight position, because it was better then not working at all.  After six months the ASM spot opened up.  Having recently been in an accident I jumped on the position to make new higher insurance and vehicle payments.  Now this is where I started to get screwed over, the store manager at the time thought it would be a fantastic idea to have me continue to work thirds and then do the money/ management training after I have already worked 8+ hours as well as training another employee needless to say we had a heated discussion after that.  Some time passes after I get all the management techniques down things do get easier and you do get faster.  The problem then comes of keeping the store stocked and staffed which is the year and a half I have been there we have been though at the very least 30 employees in a small store.  But now ive come to realize 10.15 isn't worth the constant headache of dealing with employees, rude customers, and keeping everything running including picking up after other employees or finishing duties that someone else started with no intention of finishing.  As well as dealing with the Drama of everyone talking behind everyone else's back.  As the title states it is just a job, not a career.  I have also been offered the Store Manager position multiple times but declined because they force you to work 50+ hours weekly but only pay you for 40 every week.  Even with a fully staffed store that is unacceptable in my book and I do not recommend anyone try and move up in the company because they will just hire in new people to be managers instead of promoting a trained employee ninety-five percent of the time.

GPM acquired my company in 2018, and it was all downhill from there. Before GPM my company was fairly cohesive and an actual enjoyable place to work. I didn't dread my job. After a year and one day of GPM having acquired my company, they promptly fired seven of our management team before noon on the same day. None of them had any idea they were going to be fired, and some had been with the company for 15+ years. Management makes decisions that just don't make sense. Moral was so bad that our entire office had a meeting where we pretty much aired all of our grievances about GPM and their lack of communication and leadership. The purpose of the meeting was supposed to be to suggest changes and improvements that we thought would help moral between our office and GPM in Richmond, but nothing ever came of it... at all. Nothing changed. We've taken surveys that ask us how we like working for GPM, and we were all honest that we hated it, and why we hated it... still nothing has changed. 

They will fired people and expect you to pick up the slack with no increase in pay. They keep acquiring stores but don't hire more support staff to help these stores run smoothly, instead they keep piling on more work and expect you to be able to keep up with it, or else you get written up. If you and your team aren't able to keep up with the increasing demands from more and more stores being bought, you all get chewed out because they think you're slacking. 

Some GPM managers and supervisors are stretched so thin they can't remember their employees names, or simple details about their life. 

I do not recommend working for this company long-term, only if you are in desperate need of a job. If you start to work for GPM, keep looking for another job so you can leave before they destroy your will to live. 

Worked as a GM for GPM eight months. They are a huge acquisition company and took over our company 3/2023. The actual transition day into GPM was a nightmare. They should’ve closed stores for the day to complete the transition. Managers worked at least 18hrs that day and had to open the following day. Trainings reviewed what we already knew and the trainings on new material were weeks after we needed it. Managers were left stressed and overwhelmed trying to figure out new hiring procedures and such. GPM loves to micromanage. There is a lot of redundant, unnecessary tasks that need to be completed and there’s a checklist for every checklist. When upper management visits the store to ask how everything went or is going, they do not listen to your response. They’re very dismissive of your ideas or issues. They claim that they’ve done so many transitions that they know go to do it correctly. No. It was chaos and your experience is irrelevant. They do not give decent bonus or raises. They do not give adequate working hours to keep store properly staffed and are fine with having a single female working the closing shift in a sketchy area. In one week, you’ll learn that sales are up, then down, then up again but claim they cannot show proof because they cannot access prior company stats. You always feel as though your job is on the line and there is no room for upward mobility. Communication is subpar. You’ll receive four different answers to same question. I will never go through another transition with this company. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Was not allowed to preform my jobs as an asistant manager, i was not taught how to hire, preform Wright-ups, or termination. I was however expected to preform at or above the expected work loads for my team often working unscheduled overtime. Was offten moved around to cover other stores employees if they happen to call off. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Trying to get information from higher management about my problems and have them respond. Most of my issues were just brushed off to the side or used as a carrot and stick to promise raises and promotions. When i was let go the district manager fired me for asking how to proceed when all my staff quit, because i couldnt stay at the store due to medical reasons. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Bad!! the hire ups will say what ever to get you to work harder but never give anything back. Offten times i had peoe applying and calling but my manager never would hire them or allow me to receive training to hire them or even explain why we cant hire them or even change the schedule to be more cohesive.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
12 hs day working at front regester alone. I often would put away the whole truck and stock isles and cooler durring this time also alone. I also needed to go outside clean all the windows and pumps daily durring this time alone. Basically i was alone in the store 9-10 times with all the work in the store to do for about 12 hours.

The only positive thing that I can say about GPM is that if you want to start adding management titles to your resume fast and easy, work here. 

Even then when you hit the job market trying to find the next step (and trust me you'll never want to work retail again after working any length of time here)  employers will discover the mockery of a company they are and see how its bottom of barrel, c-store industry rejects that land there (or just as bad, DG). A lot of the folks who have tenure there from being acquired by GPM from their smaller companies feel trapped and stuck. Leadership gaslight you into believing this is the best you'll ever do, and not only is it the best you'll ever do in life, you're actually doing a terrible job at it, and will use these abusive tactics to basically gate-keep you in a role. 

By the time I had left, half of my coworkers, myself included, were prescribed one if not two antidepressants and anxiety medications simply just to get through the day without having a nervous breakdown because of work stress and the lack of work-home life balance. 

Ever worked 36 hours in a row because your senior management refuse to step in and help give you a break or find any help? Been there. Done that. And I have seen it happen to many a good people. 

If you enjoy having a life, a family, feeling like a valued employee, or simply, just respected as a human being, then do not work for them. Period. 

You think you were done with high School drama when you graduated however long ago? Think again if you plan on working for this company.

Staff leave early without any manager notice or repercussions. They come in 30 minutes to HOURS late without any repercussions. High school-like cliques with staff. 

Company itself has no clue what they're doing. They make random policy changes to overcorrect single instances of ignorance. For example, a staff member at a different store sold alcohol to a minor, so the company instilled a new policy where we had to scan everyone's ID for every age restricted purchase, no matter if they looked 15 or 95. This lasted all but 2 weeks, or at least I did it for two weeks before I realized my own manager stopped doing it within the first 2 days.
Manager would consistently throw his staff under the bus for his own mistakes, poor communication, and lack of...well, MANAGING.
I could go on and on about this company but I don't even care enough anymore.

Bottom line is to never work here unless it's the very last choice or it's a very, VERY temporary job. The only good thing I can say about this job is that it's very flexible on hours. If you're in school and just need to work 2 to 3 days a week for some extra cash, then it's not too terrible. But don't go into this job thinking you might be able to support yourself. It's not going to happen.
