What is the best part of working at the company?
A lot of room to grow and the job teaches you a lot you never thought you'd want to learn but it's one of my most intriguing jobs I've ever had. Great company and individuals to work for.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Wanting to succeed and perform well. Just the need to excel well and get as many closes as you possibly could sorta like competing with other employees to get that bonus for the most closes so it sometimes feels like your always competing 2ith one another. Can be very stressful sometimes almost like it's not a job but a competition. But other than that it's the best place to work .

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Greet environment close almost like a family network. Embracing and willing to help each other succeed. No one tries to break you down or deny you your recognition. Encourages you to be the best never belittles you nor makes you feel as if your not good enough. Like I have said numerous amount of times it's a great place to work and thrive 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Fast paced. You are never bored or find yourself left with nothing to do it's never a dull moment. Some complex times with the feeling of being overwhelmed but once you are aquatinted with your daily duties as an employee it becomes easier and easier to accommodate the tasks given on a daily. As you become more familiar with the duties required for you to succeed at this company you become more comfortable to add your own personal approach to how you can gain more closes on deals and bring in more revenue. Money is the sky's limit and it's ability to grow in your pocket is a great motivator. It's amazing how much money can be earned in a field such as the one offered by Tri Star Energy. All around a great place to work

After 27 years in a corporate environment (customer service, underwriting, accounting / tax prep) and in the sports entertainment world, and after a surgery debacle forced me to redefine my career path because of problems that are now experience in my dominant hand, I applied with twice daily. What I thought was against my better judgment turned out to be a humongous blessing in disguise. I never would have imagined this would be the place I feel most at home. My mom home convenience stores, pubs, and related businesses her entire life and she always loved it. All these years later, I see what the buzz was about. I've been with the company for several months now, and it's one of the best jobs I've ever had. I've made more money other places, but not quite the same satisfactory work environment. I'm a proud member of my team, I have a manager that is beyond awesome, and I absolutely love my teammates and the interactions with our daily cliental. I have nothing but positive words about this company and I'm beyond grateful that this particular job is the one that was placed in my path.

TriStar appears pristine from a distance. The company seems to have a grand appeal until you are in too deep. The structure and mission look to have a sense of purpose, leading one to believe family values and work/life balance are prioritized. There is an underlying “political” agenda with a strong urge to filter out higher paid and often, longer term employees to be replaced by cheaper labor that has yet to experience the backhanded deception that is creeping just ahead. Many great individuals who have given their all have easily become mere fodder to the inter workings of this company. Advancement, Bonus Structure, Salary Increases among others are tantalized and the requirements for such ever-changing. Multiple years in the General Manager role has given insight into a broken system that is after automation with little to no decency to the human dynamic to which the core of the business relies. If promises are made, get it in writing before acceptance. They do not hire people, they hire numbers and expect your soul in return for a place at the table. Keep your wits about you and beware what lies ahead.

A typical day for Tri Star Energy was always a good one. We had very little complaints as our staff worked extremely hard together in order to minimize them. When we saw a problem we informed upper management if we could not resolve it among ourselves. Being a part of management I learned a great deal on how a professional would conduct themselves and adapted in that role in order to better serve my guests and my fellow co-workers. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the corporate office heads. By this I am referring to the VP of Operations, CEO, VP of Marketing, etc. This was due since when they would come into the location the mood in the store would change. Instead of being light it would become more heavy and feel like pins and needles. Despite this however, we always maintained our composure. The most enjoyable parts of the job was the satisfaction that I helped a customer leave happy. Without the customer we have no job, so it was my job to make sure that they all left with a smile on their face.

Everything starts out great as with most places. The pay is good for the job you do if you aren't in management. If you are in management STAY AWAY they will abuse you. Expect a lot of turn over. If you're lucky enough to be at a small town location you will have wonderful regulars if not....get ready for crazy. The things that happen in the men's rooms will make you want to throw up. The culture is like a toxic family environment. Corporate is out of touch with reality and once you've served your purpose you are nothing more than trash to them. In fact if you don't play their game you are useless to them, although they will pretend otherwise to the public 

My manager is amazing (Brad) he is what you'd want in any GM. Enterprise location is the best location in my opinion. It is a gas station so of course there are stressful moments. But the dynamic at our Enterprise location is unmatched. I truly miss working there. I love the gas discount that you get as an employee. You do get PTO which you can start using after 6 months. Raises are biannual but don't expect a big raise to change anything. I truly miss my customers. Being in a small town and working at the popular gas station does have its perks. Through this job I have grown a community and family there. I'm great full for the time I had. And I know if I were to want to go back I know I'd be able to in a snap.

Working in retail sales with the public can be challenging, but with a positive attitude the outcomes are usually positive as well.  The corporate environment is friendly and mostly supportive. The company looks for hard workers that are capable and will usually promotes them if they show an interest in advancing in the company.  The job has its stresses but they are no worse than any other corporate environment.

Great place, great management, and all around a cool place to work. Found it comfortable right from the very start. Able to establish myself and learn my duties at a pace that worked for me. Family orientated establishment that works with each employee on a case by case basis. Builds your self confidence and gives you a sense of fullfillment. Along with that and the  encouragement given it helps boost  productivity in all areas of the company. Made a lasting impression on my experience in that particular field and am proud to have been a part of their team.

Since the company is continually growing, and the owners are always looking to acquire new companies, there is a lot of opportunity for improvement and career advancement. If you want to take up a seat and do the bare minimum, then this company will probably not be a good fit for you. Leadership is conservative, and change requires a lot of communication and influencing. Compensation seems average, and benefits have recently been brought up to par. Office culture is mostly good. Working with my coworkers is the best part of the job; most everyone is really great to work with.

Its a ok company,  just don't expect a lot of free time.
Not too much life work balance. Upper management is not a whole lot of help or support. Expect to learn things on your own,  and there is poor communication in this company. Employees feel under valued for their efforts and work. The district managers are not really that great. Again, you do not feel valued very much. Training is almost non existent. Not a lot of support from HR on getting applicants and people hired, which falls on you.
