RaceTrac Petroleum Human Resources Interview

Interview Details – The interview process was thorough and efficient. All prospects are escorted into a meeting room and given an application to fill out while a informational video is displayed and repeated telling you of the great benefits of a career with the company. Applicants are escorted by an HR rep to an office for a one on one interview in the order at which they arrived/signed in. The interview process consisted of a lot of Q&A concerning your experience in related fields. There were some hypothetical questions thrown in for gauging your abilities in specific situations. You are given ample opportunity to ask any and all questions you may have about the company. Once the initial interview is completed a secondary interview is conducted at which time you are offered a position and salary. You will be given time if needed to discuss the offer and respond in a reasonable amount of time. Over all it was professional and painless.

Negotiation Details – The store positions are a set salary. Your salary will vary in the form of bonuses taken from the store locations net profits. This can be an excellent bonus opportunity if your in a high volume location. As a swing manager my salary plus bonus netted me a paycheck equal to and often greater than assistant managers in lower volume stores. This posed a real problem when it was time for a promotion as I could not afford the pay cut. Try to stay off of night shift. If you excel in the overnight position it will be difficult to obtain a position to day shift as the night time employees are very inconsistent and have a higher than avg turnover. You can move up quickly if you work consistently and reliably. All expectations are set for you in a clear and concise manner so there is little guess work.
