Terrible Herbst

It's a corporate mentality and they make sure to get rid of anyone who displays any sign of common sense. Cashiers never get a pay raise and blame managers for that when the managers really aren't even allowed to be managers unless it comes to blaming them for something that district managers do not want to take the blame for. Next, unless you are one of the kiss-up managers that try to get on the good side of the district manager you can pretty much expect no help when it comes to staffing. The routine for a staff shortage is to send out an email to all the other managers in hopes that someone has a person they can send you. However, most managers there (being as under qualified as they are) will not help by sending another cashier and this is greatly due to it leaving the managers to cover some shifts if they are fully staffed. And in this situation where cashiers call off and other managers DO NOT help it leaves that manager who is short-staffed working those shifts. 
Managers;  literally have no control over the staffing, they can ask for staff and put their request for staff on the web and it might be months before they see a new employee. This of course once again cuts into the managers time off, and their family time. 

And to the cashiers that complain about low pay, seriously? Does anyone have a clue how hard it is to get a cashier that can actually read, write, do math? How about speaking English? Terribles does have some great cashiers but that truly is by luck because they make up for the other 90% of those cashiers that suck. To that 90 % that I was speaking of, I know the pay sucks but you applied for the job, Terribles did not solicit you. How dare you come in and start complaining about pay when you call in sick within the first 90 days, come in late, and get caught standing around. Those cashiers continuously calling out, who do you think has to cover your shifts? Your pathetic excuses of management being paid more are ridiculous, we work harder than you as a cashier, we are required to know all the ins and outs of YOUR position as well as our own. We have to sacrifice our family time and time off every time one of you degenerates calls in. And in all fairness, I read a review from a cashier stating management was all up in their business, seriously? That's exactly why you do not get pay increases because you are chosen for your lack of intelligence when you apply. How can management be all up in your business unless you bring your business to work and share it with your co-workers who then, in turn, tell everyone else your business? You bring all that BS to work and then cry about management knowing your business, get real, grow up, get an education and maybe you can find a better job. The fact that a cashier ends up at Terribles is because they have been turned down by other convenience stores/gas stations that will not just hire anyone. 

And to get back to the employer, how do you offer your employees a 401k plan when you do not even pay enough for them to contribute to it? Medical. another sore spot to employees. The medical is the cheapest the employer could find for them, however, is very expensive to the employees. 

Next the safety of Terribles employees; there are stores that are robbed repeatedly, Terribles knows this yet they do nothing to keep their cashiers safe and out of harms way like employing security for that store, or getting a better surveillance system. The system that Terribles uses now is so outdated that a robber could walk in without a mask and not have to worry about anyone identifying them from that surveillance footage.

Cashiers being promoted to management, many of the cashiers are enticed by district managers' lies. "Oh, look at the pay increase you will receive", "If you need help we will be there to help you."  All BS, many of the experienced managers take it upon themselves to warn cashiers about what they are in for and they never listen. Instead, the cashier/assistant manager takes on the position and then realizes the harsh reality of being a manager for this company.  The first time they have a cashier that calls out and the district managers do NOT help them, or the first time they have an inventory and no one shows up to help them. That's when they realize what mistake it was for them to advance to a position they do not have any experience in. 

It is a great entry-level job but anything other than that and it's on you for either being forced to deal with a job such as this due to your own lack of skill or not being motivated enough to find another job.

I have read all the reviews and it appears many of them are repeated and it also appears that some of them may have been written by Terribles corporate office themselves, very sad when a company feels the need to write it's own positive reviews instead of addressing the negative reviews they received and fixing them.

This is a horrendous company to work for I have been working at one of their locations for a year now and there is no chance of advancement. The management doesn't care how their store managers are treating the employees believe me I know I filed a report on one and they transferred me to a more dangerous store that was their solution to the problem. It doesn't matter how much loyalty you give them because they will not give you anything in return. Oh by the way the graveyard position sucks because you are all alone dealing with crackheads and little kids that like to jump behind the register and steal everything. Absolutely no support from management. They love to over work you and don't care about your overall health. The only perks to the job you get as much soda as you want YAY! What a way to reward your employees. The company talks about a lot of incentives for the employees but they lie through their teeth because I have yet to see any kind of incentives. They believe that Terrible's should be your only focus in life and screw what you got going on outside of the company even if you going to school or what not. Most of the customers are horrendous and awful. Some of the customers will try and play tricks on you and scam you out of money and if you don't play along they threaten your life. I would not recommend anyone to work here you are better off going to fast food and working there. Oh and one more thing unless there are more then one person working you never get a break or lunch. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Terrible’s is a good company to work for they have a lot of open positions. They also have a lot of opportunities with moving forward in your career with not only to see stores, but in the restaurant and gaming business also. Although management can be both stressful and non-stressful Terribles differs from now other See store management job it’s all in the person how they feel about their career in the field that they’re working in. Teamwork makes the dream work. One of the best things about Terribles is all of the opportunities for advancement.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
One of the most stressful parts about working as a Cstore manager for Terribles is the overwhelming turnover rate of C-store cashiers We all know that cashiering could be a little stressful at times with the outcome ultimately depends on you. Cashier positions are also a lot of first job opportunities for young people just getting into the working field.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is what you make it. The cultural part is very fair.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me as a C store manager varies from day to day. The workload also varies from day today, but being a very organized and structure filled individual my days are usually calm allowing me to get a tremendous amount of work done.

When working for Terrible's, you're not there for you. 

When you're scheduled to work, there's only one person working depending on the location, and it's you. Swing shift (2pm-10pm) is the busiest shift and you're the only one working. With the extremely long list of duties that you're REQUIRED to complete during your shift, you have no time to complete them because the company ALSO requires you to put the customer first. 
At that point it's up to you to decide whether you want to get punished for not working with customers, or get punished for not completing your list. 

Also, there's no breaks whatsoever. The only thing even remotely close to a break you're able to get is if you either lock the door to go to the bathroom, or if you're lucky enough to actually have someone working with you. 

HR doesn't care about you, the only put company interests before you. District managers, more often than not, care more about their image than the stores they manage. Store managers and coworkers are the only thing close you'll get to semi-decent cooperation. 

Training is the bare minimum. They give you two days to learn the register and the system and on the third day, they throw you to the wolves and expect you to be perfect. On top of that, they never teach you the minutiae of how the system actually works, and expect you to know everything based on the little knowledge they teach. 

● Work-life balance
A really good Corporation who works with you on year schedule if you need time off let them know ahead of time and they will more than likely say yes to whatever request you asked for willing to work with a person two-person level very empathetic good place to work for

● Pay & benefits
They do everything online and have a full support team you can get information about paycheck stubs set up an account haven't direct deposit to your account if you do not have a bank they will provide a debit card for you and your cash will be uploaded upon paydays

● Job security and advancement
Job security as always there for the individual if they're willing to work

● Management
Store manager Kathleen Martinez is one of the best managers I have ever had really empathetic to real life situations how long to work with anyone as long as if they're willing to work

● Culture
I can be a fast-paced stressful environment my suggestion is to pay attention during training for the first three days that they have you work alongside another employee listen pay attention take notes after 3 days it's sink or swim

● Overall
My review on the establishment is store 201 across the store from 258 is the better choice to work for the manager knows what she's doing has great leadership skills the other store on the other half I need to work but still a good environment

What is the best part of working at the company?
Depending on your individual team, work can either be smooth sailing, or terrible.... As the name implies. More often than not a majority of what will determine this is how others feel about you moreso than your own competence or team effort. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Corporate as well as bad management tend to have clear favorites, some instances seeming like they are more racially motivated than the public image corporate wants you to believe. Many instances of amazing people being passed on opportunities to grow and move up in the company due to discrimination or complete ignorance. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
This company has provided both some of my best, and most toxic work environments I've seen in my more than a decade of work experience in and out of the company. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Manager shows up and does the bare minimum, refuses to properly support crew including their assistant manager. Employees and assistant forced to pick up the pieces and slack or risk termination. Meanwhile the least competent workers, including the manager have the most comfort and job security based on patterns of incompetence and proclaimed ease of job.

Typical day at work is very easy... but can be difficult at times. Vacuuming cars is easy but put a time limit, Las Vegas heat, and customer requests it can get bad quick. Sending cars through the tunnel sounds easy but add scrubbing bugs (which takes 2-3 minutes), checking if windows are open, and if cars are in neutral on top of having cars lined up waiting to go through the tunnel is no walk in the park. That's just half of what is going on.
Having good awareness of cars and how they always have something wrong with them will ensure that nothing bad will happen to the car when you send it down the tunnel. Even then anything can happen cause cars suck and no amount of new technology will save wear and tear.

The pay is horrid only because people don't always tip and in this type of job the tips are everything... and when you are first starting out as a vacuumer people don't tip in the back only in the front where they wipe the cars down.

All in all if you care about doing a quality job on a car and yet make the time limit this job will be rewarding since you are helping people stress less and feel good cause their cars are cleaner. The work is hard and the expectations are high. It's not so easy as you may think.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the TIPS cause your getting paid 7.25...

I as of this review currently work at Terrible Herbst as a graveyard cashier, I also really love my job believe it or not. Sure the pay has only just got decent, the hours can be horrible, we are usually always understaffed and we have to deal with rude disrespectful people all the time. That being said my store had a wonderful manager, a great team and I enjoyed going to work seeing all my regular customers and working whatever hours my manager needed me to because he was a really awesome boss! It didn't bother me about all the other things because at least my boss was as cool as he was but still worked hard for his workers. However the higher ups they don't care at all about how hard you work, if your struggling with personal life situations or anything. This really makes long lasting employees suffer were as new members can call off 4, 5 sometimes 6 days in a row and still have a job do nothing at all all day and still have a job, but work there for 3 or 4 years almost never call out, always come in whenever you are asked, be as friendly and professional as you can to customers they don't care not to mention the prices. I get it's a convenient store but $7.89 for a gallon of milk!? Wow! I loved my job and my boss was the best manager anyone could ask for. He really showed his appreciation to his hard working employees. 

Stay clear of working for this company if you only want to make $8 bucks an hour as a cashier, $ 10 if you are an assistant manager. Be expected to bust your butt as an assistant manager you are nothing but an over glorified cashier most of the time. Picking up managers slack and covering for them when they are not there. 
   They don't care if you have injuries and shouldn't be doing half of the stuff they want you too do. Some locations are lucky and have 2 cashiers, but you have to be really lucky to have that happen as most of the locations are only budgeted for 1 cashier per shift. 
   Managers if they are lucky have an assistant but most do not. So therefore the managers have to pick up all the slack and work days or even months on end with no time off, therefore getting sick and not able to get better because they are always working with zero help. 
  They falsely accuse people and fire those who are dedicated and hard working, even with horrible pay. But keep the bad apples who seem to tell you that they can hook you up with a drug dealer. (Someone in would really want working for my company) 
   They also took managements bonuses

Terrible Herbst is undoubtedly one of the worse places to work, offering extremely low pay that is far below industry standards.  I found the compensation to be insulting and demoralizing. It is clear that the company prioritizes cutting costs over valuing their employees.
Not only if the party abysmal but the working conditions are equally terrible. The management lack any sense of empathy or understanding towards their employees. They constantly push for unrealistic expectations and the lack of respect for personal time and well-being is evident in their disregard for employee needs.
Furthermore, the company's lack of investment in employee development and growth is disheartening. The are no opportunities for advancement or skill enhancement, leaving employees feeling stagnant and unappreciated. It is clear that Terrible Herbst does not value it's workforce and sees them as disposable.
Overall, I would strongly advise against considering employment at Terrible Herbst. The low pay, poor working conditions, and lack of opportunities for growth make it an incredibly frustrating and demotivating place to work. Save yourself the disappointment and seek employment elsewhere.
