I've worked in the car wash division of this company for 2 and a half years and I absolutely love it. I do maintenance, repairs and installations of the many car washes that the company owns and operates. The company provides me with a work van that I take home with me, gas card, company credit card, uniforms, etc. And with the exception of basic hand tools, which are supplied by me... They provide me with any and all of the other tools and supplies needed to do my job properly. The company in general has grown and expanded rapidly. But more specifically, the car wash division has been constantly expanding during the 2.5yrs I've worked there. In my region alone, we've added 7 new car wash locations and we've replaced, upgraded and rebranded 3 of the already existing car washes. And that's all in the past 2.5yrs. So there is always projects going on or just over the horizon. Management has been awesome throughout my entire experience. From my direct supervisor, all the way up the ladder, I've had nothing but support, respect, encouragement, guidance and gratitude from management. Too many workplaces these days seem to operate with a sense of distrust of their employees. Like an ever present assumption that employees will take advantage or rip off the company if they aren't constantly micro managed. This is NOT one of those workplaces, as far as my experience goes. And it's refreshing because I've worked for too many companies like that and it's never a good thing. My experience with this company has been excellent! I love the work I do and getting to work on and build the type of equipment I work on daily. I enjoy the challenge and the occasional problem solving that randomly comes my way. My experience and skills have always been trusted and respected by my coworkers and management. And I am compensated extremely well for the work I do and for my value to the company. It's absolutely the best job I've ever had. 

This is definitely one company that needs a union FOR employees! Management was horrible, from store manager to upper management. Picked favorites and cold shouldered other employees just because they could, based on who had kids, who liked football, who liked pink camouflage, who had the newest gadgets and phones (ect.), not because they were good or bad employees, hard workers or lazy (ect.). No flexibility or understanding for employees who have life changes beyond their control which dictate necessary changes in scheduling. No opportunity for advancement or growth. You'll be promised and told you'll move up to only be moved laterally or to be left to stagnate, no matter how hard you work, no matter how many extra responsibilities and projects you pick up, or how many extra shifts you cover for call-outs. Company doesn't care about employees and therefore management doesn't either, as long as they get there bonuses. No lunch breaks allowed, if you need to eat you'd better grab a bite between customers. Coworkers were often lazy, leaving things undone or doing them incorrectly in the hopes management would put them on another project. No benefits, no sick time, no vacation time, no stocks or shares, no 401(k) or other retirement plans. And, be prepared if your store is a brand new buy for the customer base to berate and belittle you, verbally abuse and threaten you, to make you feel two inches tall, and to tell you how you're personally helping to destroy their community because this faceless corporation purchased their local hole in the wall gas station.

Working at Golden Nozzle and Nouria has been one of the most frustrating and draining experiences I’ve had. The workload is excessive for what is ultimately average pay, and the effort employees put in is met with little to no meaningful recognition. Raises are insulting which sends a clear message about how little the company values its staff. There’s virtually no real opportunity for growth or advancement, making it feel like a dead-end job no matter how hard you work. What stands out the most is how unsupported employees are—when issues come up, it often feels like there’s no one willing to step in or advocate for you, leaving you to deal with problems on your own. The employees who give the most consistently seem to get the least in return, which makes it incredibly difficult to stay motivated or feel respected in that environment. Another major concern, in my experience, is the working conditions employees are expected to handle on a daily basis. The job often involves working around harsh chemicals and acidic cleaning agents, as well as constant exposure to grease, dirt, and muddy conditions, without it feeling like there’s adequate support or compensation to match those demands. It’s physically taxing and, at times, feels unsafe or poorly managed. When you combine that with the already heavy workload and lack of meaningful recognition, it creates an environment that feels both exhausting and undervalued, especially for employees who are consistently putting in their full effort.

I should have realized this when the first day the district manager told me she was looking to fire all of the employees there that this place would be torcher.  Management treated people like they were nothing.  I remember a day when we had to have another manager from a different store cover for us.  It was me and 2 other employees that were already there and we were told the whole time who we didn't know anything.  I was cooking in there kitchen, stocking there cooler, and cleaning the store without any breaks (because apparently they don't believe in them unless you mentioned that you would be talking the state government about these decisions) and was told that I was working hard at all and that I was doing a poor job by this manager.  (This was after that manager went outside and took a break to talk to her friend.)  Most of the time your by yourself while the management team is out back and then they complain that you should have not gotten a bunch of stuff done while you are waiting on customers by yourself.  I felt much better after leaving that place after 1 month of work.  (If the management is reading this and is wondering why you have so much turnover in this store well here is why.  Treat people like people not like a bunch and toys that you play with and just treat poorly. No wonder everyone excluding 1 person that started before me left that place.)

A typical day at work includes reviewing my task sheet and completing them as listed. While I complete tasks, I often find that my co-workers are not taking initiative while dealing with their own. When they do take the initiative and begin completing tasks, they do not do so as directed and I take it upon myself to clear most of the tasks on the sheet during my shift. While working here, I have learned that I am a proactive and encouraging employee. Most people who work here believe I have the potential to be an assistant store manager or a full store manager. I have learned that others rely on me and take comfort in my presence. The hardest part of the job is attempting to complete all of the tasks on the given shift sheet, while dealing with the overall lazy job culture found here. Management is chaotic throughout the company. Recently, our store's kitchen is going through a process which makes things more impractical. Certain goods are no longer available to the customers and most of the ones that are still available are being modified in size and price. These goods mentioned are kitchen stock...mostly combined food items that we sell. The most enjoyable part of the job is the service we provide to our customers. For example, things like food, gasoline, kerosene, beverages, and twenty-four hour convenience.

We always arrive five minutes before our shift, get our drawer ready and relieve the overnight crew. Next begins the daily check list of our duties to be done. Serving all our customers with exceptional customer service and making sure they enjoyed there time spent at our store. Along with stocking shelves, coolers and unloading delivery trucks my duties as an Assistant Manger included breaking down the safe and filling the ATM first, then went on to the previous day cashier paperwork making sure all the money is accounted for and where any missing money went. I then did the inventories and made sure all the cashiers were on time for there shifts and doing all there normal day to day duties along with the additional cleaning lists. I also reviewed the schedule for the upcoming weeks for the Manager on duty. The hardest part of the job for me would be dealing with disgruntled customers and making sure they are satisfied when they leave. The best part of the job for me was always having something to do and having some of the most pleasant customers and co-workers. At Nouria I learned how to be a better team player and leader. I also became an even better Assistant Manager at this location.

I was an assistant Manager. The manager lied to everyone about everything. From complaints Made  by customers to office about employees. 
The company has no room for advancement. No raises. I started there in march so you get a weeks paid vacation after being there a year but what they don't tell you is that after you have been there a year you have to wait till the following January so basically I would have had to wait 18 months to use my week vacation . I brought my concerns to the area manager about my manager and she just ignored them. She scheduled a meeting to meet with us. And at the last minute she canceled and never reschesuled . I was only the assistant manager however I was expected by myanager to do all the books and daily paper work . he only found time to come to this store once a week because theyade him complexed and the pther  store was accross the street. I could only have my days off if I found coverage fory shifts because the manager thought he was too good to works there.they would offer bonuses every quarter which is 3 month. I worked there from march till august with no bonus but the manager got 2 while I was there. Goes to show you if you will kiss their blanks  you will maybe get somewhere.

Working for Nouria I've learned a great amount of work ethic and responsibility. On a regular day I would be responsible for keeping track of our inventory and making sure that we had enough product and not too much. I was held responsible for managing our food order as well which I would say was the hardest part of my job. We had daily tasks such as making sure that all product was fresh and orderly, cleaning all surfaces, washing our hands constantly, providing excellent customer service, walking the store and making sure of no hazardous spills and taking the necessary steps to take care of any problems detected. I got along great with my co-workers and had fun with them while ensuring that we were all doing our part to make sure that no detail was overlooked. The most enjoyable part of the job to me was making sure that people left our store satisfied with our product and customer service, working with fun co-workers, and being able to express myself and my skills that I have obtained through my years of being in customer service and food preparation.

Enjoyed working at my job! Most coworkers worked well together and did their jobs. But, the ones that did not do their job was a downfall! My current manager was the best manager to work for, ever,!  Another downfall was working 2 1/2 years, getting 2 raises and when minimum wage went up the raises were not reflected in my pay. I make now $13.50 the same as a new hire would. I earned those raises and should've been added to my pay. And not eliminated.Also, night shift makes $1.00 more an hour, have probably 10 customers, to our 100 which we bring in probably 90% of the sales. And we do most of the work that they're supposed to do overnight.

Working at a gas station can be one of the most difficult and thankless jobs. For starters, employees often work long hours, including weekends, holidays, and overnight shifts, with little pay. The job is physically draining—standing for hours, dealing with unpredictable weather while assisting customers, and constantly restocking heavy items. Safety is also a major concern, as gas stations are frequent targets for theft and robbery, especially at night. On top of that, workers must handle rude or impatient customers, clean filthy restrooms, and manage spills or leaks that can be hazardous. The repetitive nature of the work and lack of advancement opportunities can also take a toll on mental health. There’s little appreciation or recognition, and the pressure to maintain store cleanliness, manage fuel pumps, and monitor inventory can be overwhelming. Overall, a gas station job often combines low pay, high stress, and little reward, making it an exhausting experience.
