The people that work for this company are really great and tend to be quite caring.  There are many opportunities to advance but you must work very hard and be willing to move locations for this advancement.  A typical day at work for a store manager would begin with a walk of the store to make sure that all job duties were completed the night before and to see if any follow up is needed. As a manager you must oversee everything at your site.  You often will be ringing register, making breakfast, and helping an associate on the sales floor throughout the day while balancing paperwork, writing orders, managing inventory, and handling vendors.  Managers are required to work 48 hours every week.  If you are short staffed you are expected to take care of it and essentially you are on call 24/7. Sometimes you won't mind but often you will feel like all you ever do is work.  The most enjoyable part of the job is all the great people you meet.  You will make life long friends out of your coworkers and some of your customers.  The day passes very quickly and is never boring because of the diverse tasks that you do each day.  You also have quite a bit of autonomy as a manager and can delegate and manage your day however you deem necessary.  The company will support you and help you to be the best and will mentor you to your full potential.  At first the training is great but after many years it becomes overkill.   The hardest part of the job is that it can be very stressful.  This company has very very very high standards for employee behavior, finances, and image that they raise higher each year.  You are vulnerable to judgement at every turn through customer surveys and internal inspections.  You are often not given the amount of labor you need to effectively run your location  to meet these standards.  Another very challenging part of the job is 50 cent drinks after the cardinals score 6 runs.  You will have twice as many customers, you will be sweaty by the end of the day and very tired of answering the same questions and hearing the same comments over and over and over again.  Your 10 hour work day can easily become a 14 hour work day. You will probably start to hate the cardinals.

This is a big company that operates on outdated principles.  This is one of the few convenience stores in the area that allows you to pump your gas and then go in and pay.  This place also takes checks.  Both would be okay if your store is in a small rural town.  However, there are two reasons why this is NOT okay.  First, this store is right off the interstate and in a decent sized populated area and just down the road from a military installation.  Second, the market and technology combined as a whole are starting to phase out these customers.  Given the locale of this store, prepay or pay at the pump are the only two options customers should have to purchase fuel.

The point-of-sale system this store uses is extremely outdated.  I feel like I'm looking at a computer with Microsoft Windows 3.1 when I'm at the register.  Thus, there is a machine for everything.  Car washes, EBT, prepaid phone cards, checks, etc.  They do make point-of-sale systems that will handle ALL these type of transactions.  I've worked at two other convenience that did.  

They are also selling alcohol shooters for 99 cents.  Their claim is they get a discounted price when they buy them from the wholesaler.  As great as that is, a customer can by three handfuls of 99-cent shooters and can get the same amount of liquor than if they bought the bigger bottle.  Some brands the customer saves over $5!  No wonder customers are buying these shooters by the sleeve!!!

Employees will have to do more than just stand behind a register when working at any convenience store, as you may know.  The way this store hands out other tasks is crazy.  One person is the primary cashier and is also responsible for stocking tobacco, cups, and making coffee and tea.  How is this possible when this person is constantly on the register?  Out of a six hour shift I'm at the register for over five hours.

Getting out on time is hard as well.  I work another job and need to be at work early the next morning.  I'm working well beyond my scheduled time, up to 45 minutes in some cases.

This company has promotions with two big league sports teams and they run their stores as if they are bush league.  It's 2019, not 1984.  And this is NOT your grandma's gas station.  They need to get with the present in a hurry.  Because right now, the way this company runs their business along with the amount of work, it most certainly is not worth the pay.

Job Review: Janitor at ABC Facilities

I would like to share my review of working as a janitor at ABC Facilities. Overall, my experience in this role was satisfactory, and it provided a stable employment opportunity.

First and foremost, the job of a janitor at ABC Facilities involved maintaining cleanliness and orderliness throughout the premises. I found the work to be physically demanding but manageable. From cleaning floors and surfaces to emptying trash bins and restocking supplies, the tasks were well-defined and straightforward.

One positive aspect of this job was the work schedule. ABC Facilities offered a consistent and predictable work routine, allowing me to plan my personal life accordingly. The organization also recognized the importance of work-life balance and provided sufficient time off.

Moreover, the management at ABC Facilities was generally supportive. They were responsive to any issues or concerns I raised and provided necessary resources for performing my duties. I appreciated their availability and willingness to address any challenges that arose.

The colleagues I worked with were friendly and cooperative. While janitorial work often involves independent tasks, there were instances where teamwork was required, such as coordinating cleaning schedules or handling larger cleaning projects. Overall, the work environment was pleasant and inclusive.

One area where improvement could be made is in the equipment and supplies provided. Occasionally, I encountered issues with outdated or insufficient

If you are working at this company at the store level chances are you will get pushed to the max. You have to be available 24/7 and do everything perfect or you are made to feel like a failure. Policies are constantly changing, dress code is dated and strict, no facial hair, no long hair, no piercings and no unnatural colored hair. You can't rely on anyone higher up to answer your questions, you're either given the run around or you are treated like a fool and you should know better. You do get nice benefits and there's room for advancement but it will take over your life. No set schedule, expected to work whenever and whatever they say. There's little to no appreciation for employees at store level and the office/TMs or any higher than the store will treat you like you're below them entirely even though the store employees are the reason the business exists. I can't describe how much this job will beat you down. Not only that but they give the store less hours to work with, force management to push themselves and work themselves to death and then give them new lists of unrealistic tasks to complete by the end of the week while still having to maintain and run a store to perfection. Don't get me started if you can't reach their goals that they decided for you. 

Typically I was doing everything from stocking, prepping food for the warmers, cleaning, assisting customers in the checkstand, checking in vendors and orders, backstocking, basically anything and everything you could think of for a gas station. This is one of the things I loved about the company, as long as you made it known and showed interest in learning different jobs you would be trained on almost anything, which makes it very easy to be promoted, and they will if you show effort. the only negative thing id say is territory managers and store managers fail at controlling their employees. If you are mature enough to sense the drama and stay out of it and do your job, you're fine. Drama is rampant at most Mobile On the Runs, frankly it seems they dont know when to fire erratic, unstable people who bring risks to other employees. They have an open doorpolicy but if you're TM isn't interested in helping, goodluck getting HR to. IF you want to be promoted become bestfriends with your manager, favoritism is big when the interview process arises. GOODLUCK

If you are thinking of working here please make sure to at least stay away from the car wash, specially if you have seizures or issues with pain and gripping stuff. 
 
You will be contracted at part time but get put for full time without getting benefits. 

Management will be all over you to clean the gas pumps or power wash areas and you have to stay busy or you get things to do while everyone watches you. 

The drama is just annoying  like everyone say “every job has drama” not this this is elementary or mild school drama. 

We will work you like a machine and get mad when you ask for a short day after working nonstop for 6days straight. 

You don’t get a chance for a break unless you ask for it which is only 15 min for 8-10 hour shift.  

This job gave me issues with my hands which I need testing done to make sure I don’t need surgery for. 


Management is a mess 
They change what they want when they want.  Power tripping is like an ego boost for them, it’s like  a breakfast for them. 

You work in the hottest temperatures outside. 
If it rains or the weather bad you will be set home after you do cleaning for them. 


The manger has little no experience to run the place and honestly shouldn’t be in that spot.  


Very short staffed!!!!

I became pregnant with my daughter I decided to come back and work for Wallis company the first time I work for walls company is when I was 19 I was eager to learn from the company and wanted to move up only learning over time that the management did not care to try to train me it seems more of a high school setting a lot of gossiping I couldn't take it anymore so I quit the second time I came back I decided to go to the Gigi's commissary which was okay but then I ended up in the hospital for a week they fired me and try to rehire me making me do the paperwork and drug test all over again they told me because I wasn't there long enough I couldn't qualify for FMLA and since I missed more than 3 days they had to fire me I feel like due to medical reasons I should have never been fired especially if their family-owned business they should understand.

Wallis is a company that has no idea how to react in the current economy. They are obsessed with how they used to do things and now that it isn't working they are completely lost. The turnover rate has doubled almost every year since 2012. It means fast advancement is possible. Years ago, getting to assistant in less than 2 years was almost unheard of but currently it is probably possible in less than a year. Pay isn't bad but they are in such desperate need of help at all their stores that if you let them they will work you to death. As per usual, upper management has almost no idea of what happens in the stores. Some Territory Managers don't even know how to operate a register at this point.

I work overnight shift, no breaks but can try to but have to stop when someone comes in, hardest part doing everything by yourself with no help, learned to be nice to people who are not nice to you back, get good customers who care sometimes, but the way the company is run makes you not want to care about the company. The management team will add more things on with no explanation when others don't do anything, workplace environment not good getting treated unfairly sometimes makes you not want to work there, work hard except decent raise but only get 10 cents makes you feel worthless, place I would only recommend to just getting out of school but not long term.

The day starts at 8 am, and you are expected to be on time, and be working once the clock strikes 8. You work in a cold room at 38 degrees. The first thing you are to do is check the production sheet, and begin on production. The environment is terrible. It is cold, and the ingredients are even colder. Your coworkers are immature, management doesn't know what they are doing, and you are constantly behind, as they cannot retain employees. I have learned to work fast and efficiently, and how to work in a group. The hardest part of the job is making the products on time, especially on busy days. The most enjoyable part is when you get to leave early, even though this is extremely rare.
