McClure Oil

I’ve work on each of the three shifts. On third you are workings alone and doing the work normally down at least 2 staff members.  It’s dangerous enough you have to lock down the store from midnight to 5 am.
   On second shift you are working with one other person, who is more worried about a cigarette break than training new employees. 
   On first Shift staff members are so resistant to do doing basic cleaning, and shift duties that it causes problems throughout all other shifts. 
 You will constantly be hearing from management with staffing issues. Management is deceptive to staff members. Assistant manager is verbally abuse associates and the manager. 
 The general work atmosphere is anti-science and anti-intelligence. 
Bottom line if you will work for $10 an hour the McClure Oil Corp. will take advantage of that. 
If you need the >$200 weekly check please be proactive about your health. It’s not for the weak to work for this company with current management. 

It's a family owned business and this can kind of be a drag for the employees from being too up close and personal with the final boss at times. However it does provide a certain level of access to the top you likely won't find in other corporations. Don't believe everything you hear and keep an open mind. If you're capable, like people, can count things and don't mind cleaning in your down time and keep a good attitude and show up McClure Oil has an elevator to your future in the gas station retail industry. 

The things I took issue with was massive food waste while denying employees access that can help feed their families. Uniform costs. No employee discounts. No refills on fountain drinks. Squeaky tight cash control. Repetative thankless work. Regular equipment fails. 

The thing I most liked is the ability to stay busy and pass my time quickly. If I'm going to trade my time for money I need something active. This fit the bill in spades, there's always something to do. 





This company itself seems to put very little value on its employees, except MAYBE the long term store managers, maybe.  However, the store manager and asst store manager at a peru/bennest switch  location is most excellent to work for, they made me want to do better and work harder bc they valued the employees and helped them to be able to do their job better.  Its a physically challenging job at times and it would be nice to be paid more but i suppose its fair pair pay. I wouldn't think twice about returning if need be. At least at this particular store. Can't review the others but again, the company itself is NOT  a pleasant place nor would I want to work for them if not for the management team i did work for.

As a non-management, part-time employee, there are not any company benefits. The company benefits are for full-time and management employees. But if you are self-organizing, self-disciplined and self-motivated, this is a great place for a 20 year old to learn retail management or management in general. There are plenty of customers, so there is job security. You can work long hours but you can train yourself for a good career. If you want to be in management here, you can get promoted. There is much opportunity. But you will work 50+ hours per week for little pay. Until you prove your value. For most people, this will not be an opportunity. But for a few, McClure can be a great opportunity.  

If you are looking for a job that encourages you to advance your position. They do a lot of promotions within the company instead of outsourcing. Fast paced and makes time go by faster. I learned how to deal with difficult customers easier. The hardest part of the job is dealing with difficult customers and employees. You have to be sure you stay professional in front of other customers and employees. I do however enjoy the customers. I liked to develop a one on one relationship with daily regulars. It keeps them coming back.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Felt like I was babysitting honestly. Most of them knew their jobs but we're to lazy to actually do it

I worked here from Oct. 2020 - June 2021 and then again from Sept 2021 to October 2021. Was referred by a friend. Quick process of getting on. Training was not hard and pretty self explanatory, except for certain things like dealing with the pumps, refunds, canceled orders, etc. I enjoyed working here 75% of the time, thats why i returned after leaving. 

They tell you youll get paid a certain amount to get you on then your pay will be lower than what theyve said. They barely train you. If you mess up its on you even though you werent trained properly. SO MUCH DRAMA. Everyone talks behind everyones back. Even the management there especially the dm. Its just a very poor environment and so stressful. They lie out their butts just to save their own jobs (DM and other managers). 

McClure's has you pay for your own shirts which cost around $35 per shirt and they are not good shirts. They also don't give their employees any working benefits like free drinks or food, and their prices are outrageous and no employee discount. They also run on a skeleton crew where sometimes you are the only one running the entire store for hours. Never ever work here.
