Irving Oil

Start the day by collecting the monies and counting deposits. Then I would get paperwork done in between having to help on register. After going to the bank I would do security counts on cigs and scratch tickets. Depending on what day we have certain orders come in that we have to put away or order. Once a month there would be an audit. During the rest of the day I would have co workers either stock coolers, clean pumps, sweep out side, etc. They stay very busy there. I leaned especially after taking over a bigger store that there are quite the responsibilities of the day to day operations of running a business. My co-workers have always for the most part gotten along with me quite well. I thought they were doing a great job and were always there when I needed them. I made it a point to make sure they new they were appreciated. The hardest part was having to let people go if they have been around for a long time. My most enjoyable part was the customers. I used to have this little girl come in every day and when she saw mw she would yell my name and run over to hug me. That just made my day.

My typical day at work is very pleasant, although I have various work tasks to complete, it is meaningful work that I find to be very interesting. If I have any questions regarding my work or the business in general my supervisor or anyone else on my team is readily available and more than happy to answer my questions. This is why I believe the culture and management is very welcoming and willing to support your learning. The hardest part of my job is also the most enjoyable, which is drafting, designing, and analyzing different drawings. These skills are also what I learned the most about in my work term. I also liked that it is a social job, where everyone is friendly. In meetings and on the floor you could strike up a conversation with employees outside of your team. You aren’t just stuck to interacting with your own team all the time. 

Company was great when privately held as Irving oil terminals, there was no better, stores/stations were spotlessly clean, smelled nice, employees treated well, pay standards the highest in industry, benefits second to none, transports maintained to highest standards and employee retention considered imperative. Then the merge with Circle K and everything went downhill. Stores are now filthy dirty, stations and trucks in state of disrepair, management choses repairs based on budgets regardless of dvcr, staffs reduced to bare minimum and stressed out, completely unprofessional, rude, arrogant and inconsiderate, circle k management replaced Irving management, lots of chiefs, not enough Indians. Convenience store running a fuel company, as a result lot's of turnover everywhere. Good luck.

I absolutely loved working for these companies. Most of my employment was solely with Irving Oil Corporation prior to the company merger with Circle K. Irving oil company really held onto the family fundamentals of an employer/employee relationship. My district manager was amazing. I started out working there as a third shift cashier, within 3 months time I was on second shift and holding a Shift Leader title. Within 6-8 months after that I became the store Assistant Manager and the bakery Manager. I loved every aspect of my job; the company I worked for, their mission statement, my employee's, and especially the customers. Our store was much like an extended family between the employee's and our customers. They knew us by name and we knew them by name.

Phenominal Company to work for. Irving Oil is a very family oriented business. They are very generous and truly make their employees feel empowered, important and are treated like an individual not another number. They care about making sure that you have all the tools and training available to do your job completely. They always want the employees to provide feedback, good, constructive or developmental. This allows them to make changes for the better. The are very supportive for non-profit organizations such as March of Dimes, Childrens Miracle Network, Special Olympics etc. They care about making a difference.

- Come in the work in the morning, work on my daily tasks and projects. Go to the gym at lunch time or in the morning and go home at around 5pm.
- I have learned new coding skills and more information on the companies supply chain and hedging strategies.
- Management was supportive of all of me while supporting me when I needed some help knowing I was learning many new processes.
- Workplace culture was welcoming and decreased the pressure of my job.
- Hardest part of my job was learning new processes however, my team was very helpful on making me learn these processes fast.
- Learning python and making new connections with people in the company.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I enjoy being left alone to do my work for the day. No micromanagement. That being said they support us drivers if we need help. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This job is not stressful. Its only stressful if you start worrying about times. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid back environment. No stress really. No forced dispatch and reasonable expectations. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I clock in, grab paperwork, then head to the truck and pre-trip. After that I head out for the day. 90% of the time I do 2 loads, then I come back, fuel up, post trip, then go home. Same schedule every day.

This company preaches safety to the degree that you are micro managed every single second of your work day. They perform audits on you in secret and if you do not do the job in the manner they trained you to do it you are chastised. Analytics are used in a MAJOR way with this company. The miles you drive, the hours you work, the gallons you deliver, the MPG your truck gets while you work. If you go over the posted speed limit by 4 mph three times in one shift you are wrote up. They are NOT the top paying company in the industry. You will be stuck working weekends for a very long time due to senoirity.

Every day I would stand behind the counter, at the register, and deal with customer transactions both in the store, and outside pumping gas. My boss was a very friendly women, who cares about the well being of her employees. Besides training when I first started the job, I mostly worked alone, until someone came in for the next shift. The only difficult part of the job was dealing with customers who can only see things their way, and refuse to cooperate. However, through this job I have built social skills and workplace confidence. The best part of the job was seeing the familiar faces every day, of regular customers who came to know me overtime.

Responsibility of getting my work done on time and safely. I learned how to manage many tasks effectively and efficiently. I had good rapore with all the management staff. I enjoyed my coworkers and working and training them to the best of my ability.  The hardest part of my job was inner city driving with challenging areas that were tourist friendly. I loved my job and my coworkers and will miss this very important time of my career.
