Company rather use you then utilize your hard work. Upper management will manipulate you to get what they want out of you and then fall through on their end. There is NO moving up in this company, they have less then 20 stores that span from NH to RI and will always hire from outside of the company for management. So all manager in training (MIT), assistant and shift lead BS is a joke. Management is treated differently depending on the person. Some get to do whatever they like; come in at noon every day and not work the required salary hours. Others have their job threaten if a needy employee runs crying to the right people. Very hypocritical environment, doesn't actually care about you and will use you until you have had enough. Oh, and they promote lying to customers so they can fight against any law suits. They tell you just to not tell them certain things that ARE true but could be used against them, instead of I dunno...fixing the problem. So, if you are interested take it at entry level and do the minimum required out of you because going above and beyond will NEVER get you anywhere.

I worked at Volta as an ASM at the Cranston Location. It was a great environment for the most part. The manager at that location wasn’t great however upper management you could tell they cared. Typical day at work would be coming in cashing customers, doing paperwork (as the ASM/SM), putting away merchandise, and/or stocking cooler. There is a great thing in place called the “you’ve been noticed” which basically if you go above and beyond, you get $5 of store credit and that also gets sent to upper management. There wasn’t many hard parts of the job other than to deal with the Store Manager when she was in a bad mood. The most enjoyable part was just the culture and how happy everyone was. It was a great job I’d recommend it for cashiers. 

4/5 stars across the board, only on the principle that everything has room for improvement, otherwise it would be 5.

I came here looking to expand my driving experiences into the petroleum industry, and the company has not disappointed me. 

So far the hardest part of the job for me has been to learn all the accounts with regard to where the fuel tanks are located on properties.

- Management is friendly and easy to work with
- Management is accessible and easy to communicate with
- Does not push you to move too fast, would rather the job done right than have a catastrophic mistake happen 
- Does not ask you to do anything that would jeopardize your safety or that or others
- Family run company with a respectable portfolio of accounts and locations
- Uniforms provided
- Manual transmission trucks!

Started working there and things were alright. My trainer was horrible, but I learned what to do and how to do things quickly. The company expects alot out of all their employees for little pay. They expect you to bend over backwards for them. Customers are terrible, most of them are drug addicts or homeless and some even think they are thugs that run the city and are allowed to threaten you and the company will just ignore it. There is no work and life balance, you're constantly feeling like you're walking on eggshells and they could replace you at any second.

The job itself is pretty set in stone, you stock, cook, clean. It isn’t a difficult job to get around whatsoever. The main issue with this corporation is they hire terrible candidates and management is awful. There is zero respect towards the hard working employees and the amount of negativity within the workplace is unsettling. The employee that work hard get ignored, and the employees that work the least get to always say their part. I would not for a moment suggest working here.

In general I did pretty much everything not alot of down time but being my first job I was thankful for the wide range of experience it gave me I learned a great deal of things like how to quickly make change in my head (I already knew how but my manager taught me a faster way) and how to perform general custodial duties and pretty much everything else about working the manager was really good to me even fending off the occasional angry customer and he did try to help me find a home when I was on the verge of being homeless It was a hard job but worth it.

Instead of a meeting with everyone like a family business/ they used to do.. they pulled us all aside to write us up & tell us why we are mean/ not good people. In a time no one wants to work/ any time we interview they do not show or call that they don't need the job. Would've understood not giving raises had they been honest. & They refused to promote very good people who are dedicated. All management including myself left. It felt being hit sideways falsifying our characters.

It felt unreal, I ultimately quit. 

This was once an alright workplace, but ever since we have replaced our previous management, things have gone rapidly downhill. The management demands more and more of us everyday without any reason to do so. The district manager seems to have little else to do except watch cameras and look for people supposedly slacking off. Half of the staff are on the verge of quitting everyday, and the other half are staying only out of the hope of some advancement which is never going to come.
