JF Petroleum Group

Worked for this company from being new to the industry to spending 8 years learning everything. Management started out okay and as the years went on it got worse and worse. All they care about is how much money you can make the company and what your productivity numbers are. Micromanaging to the extreme, watching your idle times in your truck, how much profit you make each day, and no effort to make it feel like you belonged. Very little recognition for anything. If one tech messed up, we’d all get punished. I had to call customers myself to reschedule some projects because management wouldn’t budge even when rescheduling would be best for the company and the customer. If you’re single and don’t want to have a life outside of work, this job is for you. If you have a family and value your home time, look elsewhere. There were times we’d be pushed to work 80-90 hours a week. They say they care about safety, but they want you to run a call after working 19 hours and getting 4 hours of sleep. 

I will say the pay was great, everything else wasn't. Upper management gets hyper-focused on one big customer and neglects the rest. Overnight work way out of town for a certain whole sale club was the end for me. My direct manager and the manager above were great, the CEO micro manages and the culture is terrible. Corporate is so far disconnected from the folks that make the money for the company, HR is always on a witch hunt to fire a manager. Getting ahold of you direct manager is a royal pain, they're all remote, and it's meet after meeting for no reason most of the time. Company seems to waste a ton of money as well, between traveling and lodging when out of town, I don't know how they can be profitable. I wouldn't recommend working here if you have any sort of life besides work.

JF is a great place to work, the line of communications to upper management is good . I really haven’t had any problems with that . Being in this field as long as I have been , your having to retrain through Gilbarco which is a hassle.  With that said training on things you have never truly done before is a good thing. Now as far as management. I’m not afraid to say it there are time we have bumped heads and felt a little disrespected , but I chalk that up for inexperience on their end. Now at the tail end I’ve mood faster with Jf as far as levels than I did with a company I was at for 2 yrs . Here I’ve been here is August 2023 and navigated through the level for techs quick and pay raise shows

Could be a great company to work for but management doesn’t let that happen. Not as busy as they should be, besides bending over backwards to service Costcos. If they didn’t have that they wouldn’t have much work at all. Management is more like micro management there. Most techs haven’t a clue to what they’re actually doing and the ones that do don’t get appreciation besides the same 3% raise as everyone else. Not sure how it is in other branches, but this is certainly how it is in the north east (Boston)

Money is decent if you want to fight tooth and nail to get it. Every other aspect is absolutely ridiculous. There is steady prevention of professional career growth. Upper management sucks up to one another. Upper management gets to be lazy while pushing you to work yourself to death. Manipulation is readily practiced in order to get you on-board and attempt to keep you. Even if you're fully cert'd you may or may not get your promotion after proving you know your craft.

If you can avoid working for this company in Dayton OH then please owe it to yourself to steer clear. Repeated new management and staff with no experience. They do not follow their handbook and policies. Little to absolutely no advancement and pay increases. You are not valued and looked after as an employee to them. Lacks any structure, and current management whom has only been there a few months will act with favoritism. Very toxic and unprofessional business here.

Absolute worst job I’ve ever worked. Absolutely 0 communication, and misleading directions from project manager. DO NOT work for this company, they will use you and abuse you, have you working long hours for little pay and will not hesitate to send you home early when there is no work. Worst place in the world to work.
