Marathon Gas Station

If you are a woman do not work here. No matter who you are, prepare to be yelled at and commanded in an extremely rude manner on a daily basis, even if you have a pretty good idea about how to do your daily tasks. prepare to be constantly rushed through your work every day like some sort of slave driving situation, to the point of not being able to do your job to the best ability. if you can work very hard without stopping and do not need regular breaks, and if you do not mind being yelled at almost every single day for no reason and barely allowed to even speak your mind to the point of abrupt interruption and being commanded to cease talking and just follow orders....then actually it's not a bad place to work. they pay really well. you just don't get any respect, especially if you are female. i'm not talking about not getting respect as any sort of authority figure, which I was not, but the respect you would expect as a form of common human decency. even if you have had over 9 years experience on a cash register....don't expect to get to use it, or you might get to use it extremely rarely if at all. the authorities of this place seem to have genuine good intentions at heart, but basically need to learn their manners towards their fellow employees. They also have good customer service and a lot of regular customers. Being a customer there is really cool but being an employee there is tough. This job is not for the faint at heart.

Unfortunate but I was sick and call the manager that I could not work. I later received a call from the hospital that my pacemaker was not working that I needed to come into the hospital ASAP that it was emergency.

I was only in the hospital for 5 days and by getting a new pacemaker saved my life. I called my manager and kept her involved in what was happening.

I'll let her know that I could come back to work and she asked me for My key so that another employee could use it I asked her won't I also need the key she was very rude and told me to leave never saying that she was going to fire me I asked her am I going to be on the schedule next week and she replied I don't know yet. Then she called the police to say I was harassing her and all I was asking was when am I going back on the schedule. In front of customers she was rude vaugier and very unprofessional. I have customers coming in just because they like the fact that I catered to their needs as you should. I'm a very good salesman it has been proven over the years, customers do come first.

The way this was handled I could start a lawsuit but I decided to get 40 Grand that's what these cases payout 58% wins for the employee but I need design a good job that appreciates my hard work and my loyalty.

Marathon is a decent place to work. Pay is fair considering the work that you do. It is a very easy job, and I picked up on all of the tasks really quick. 
The best part about working there is definitely all of the employees. I have enjoyed working with almost all of the people I have worked with there. 
There are a few cons though. Primarily, it is very hard to move up in the organization. I have worked there almost 3 years and am still just a cashier because each store only has one manager and one assistant manager and you essentially have to wait for people to leave to have any chance at moving up and usually the open positions only go to people that have been there longer, so even though I would be well qualified for a management position, I wouldn't even have the chance to get it because there are people that have just been there longer than me. 
Also, getting shifts covered was difficult at times because I was one of only two people that would ever cover other people's shifts if they called off. Therefore, if I wanted off and the other person that usually will cover shifts can't cover me, I am out of luck.
Granted that could just be the store I worked at, but it is problematic regardless.

As manager of the store, I had set a fairly regular routine for myself as far as my opening duties, ordering, maintaining inventory and stocking, trying to get all done as well as taking excellent care of my customers in the meantime.  Initially when I had other employees underneath me, I had to learn how to delegate responsibility and follow up to make sure it was done, discipline when needed in a forceful yet kind manner, and set up monthly rewards for employees exceeding in their job duties.  I tried to make it "fun" as long as work duties were fulfilled and customers were taken care of.   I would say the hardest part of my job was having to be the one to fire an employee, even though I knew it HAD to be done, especially when personally I liked the employee  I had to make sure each employee fired knew the reason behind it and that is was policy and NOT a personal decision.  There were several parts of my job that could be considered "most" enjoyable: I loved working with my boss - she was awesome; I enjoyed being able to actually come in to a job I loved doing, to learning something new on a regular basis, and especially being able to see my regular customers on a daily basis.  I truly loved working here.

Working at a gas station your always busy. I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed all my customers specially my regulars. They all were very nice. It could be sometimes stressful depending on the situation.. if you have a unhappy customer it could possibly be stressful for you. You just have to stay calm. My typical day at work, I would either open, mid-day shift, or closed. I enjoyed each shift. If I opened I would set up my drawer, put out breakfast food for the customers, make sure things are stocked, gas pumps are on, donuts fresh, lights on inside and out, the ice machine filled, and do my day counts. Mid-day shift was easy, I would go in and wait on people to get gas or a item or items in the gas station then I would cash them out. I would keep the store looking nice and clean. Closing shift, I would clean such as mop, sweep, dust, wipe down counters and machines, wash trays, do nightly counts, and then when everything is done I would count my drawer and do my night counts. My manager and boss there was amazing. I couldn't ask for a better manager or boss. They were very nice and understanding. The hardest part of the job would be not knowing what your doing. You have to know what your doing at all times. You have to make sure you don't have drive offs.

I would start out by checking the beverages in each of the doors to see which beverages need to be stocked in the cooler or not. I would stock them which took most of the time working there each day. I was also responsible for taking the trash and any cardboard out every day well. If I was done early with stocking and didn't have any shipments sort out and stock, I would do other jobs that needed to be done around the store. For example, I might wash the gasoline pumps, wash the outside trash bins, take out the trash from each trash bin (next to the car wash and the gas pumps, clean the bathroom inside the store, and etc. One thing I learned from this job is that to keep a business running it takes everyone, even if that means not as many hours as another employer. I would say that the most enjoyable part of this job was spending my time in the cooler with no one. I am loner type of person, and being in the desolate quiet was enjoyable for me while working at the gas station. I would say the hardest part of this job was managing my time while working.  While working in this job, I didn't really have any coworkers that I worked directly with.

I had worked here when speedway had first turned into Marathon. The trainer sent from marathon corporate was a man who had no idea what he was doing. One day you had to learn one thing and the next you’re being disciplined for doing it the way he teaches you and is now wrong. The owners of the building and the trainer were constantly coming at each other about how to run things. Nearly 7 packed totes of items were expired and being sold to customers until I stepped up and went through the entire store checking every item and also ensuring they were all entered into the system so when they would be rung up they would have a price and the customers could receive a normal, accurate receipt. They had so many technical issues which even they don’t know how to address and fix which costs the customers time and money. Being paid was completely under the table, always cash, miscounted and inconsistent usually. The pay was not good for the jobs that became mine. They had me doing everything a manager should have been doing with none of the pay or title.

A typical day at work was always very busy. I encountered many different types of customers; some difficult to deal with and others not difficult at all. I learned many new sales techniques at this job. I also learned many new ways to have more successful and positive interactions with customers. I had great management at this job except for one assistant manager who I was harassed by causing my resignation. I loved the workplace here and looked forward to holding that job until I graduated college. The hardest part of this job was encountering customers who were not so friendly and served many problems that were sometimes hard to deal with, but was always eventually done. The most enjoyable part of the job was encountering the many customers and developing a bond with the "regulars" who were always there to brighten your day no matter how stressful your work day had been.

A typical day at work would consist of counting my drawer to start cashiering.  After taking a few customers I begin shift duties as to keep the store tidy throughout the day and make things easier on myself at the end of the work day. At the end of my shift I would count down my drawer, make the necessary drops to the safe and clock out.  I learned how to tend a cash register, as well as prepare breakfast biscuits and pizzas.  I found that the management were a zero tolerant bunch even on new employees.  The turn over rate was very for a gas  station.  Most of my co-workers were a hard working group and did what was expected of them as Marathon gas station employees.  The hardest part of the job was definitely dealing with rude customers, but with that being said the best part of the job was meeting and interacting with new people each and every day?

Busted my a** for this local branch of the company. It is franchised so I cannot say for all marathons, but this one was utterly terrible. Management has no idea how to run a store and constantly cuts corners and does shady things. Was told to remove expiration dates off food, use moldy food in recipies, and make otherwise unhealthy or unfit for consumption products just because they didn’t want to lose money on it. Met a lot of cool locales through this job but I would say that’s the only benefit. Was promised assistant manager job and thought hey maybe not all is lost then still got burned in the end. Place had the potential to really be something but the manager and owners are just garbage.
