Unprofessional, greedy, cheap

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee)
Kent, WA

I worked at Pacific Convenience & Fuels full-time for more than 3 years

ProsI was able to have a flexible schedule while going to college. I cant think of any other pros but need to meet the twenty word quota.

ConsI worked for conoco phillips when pcand f bought all the gas stations. To give an Idea, the company was unable to sell alcohol for about a week because someone failed to make sure all permits were in place. The company continues to fumble its way through the business 3 years later. I never saw a raise...

Advice to Senior ManagementTake care of the face of your company, customer service reps are where your business comes from....

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Only work here if you do not have another job.

Anonymous Employee (Former Employee)

I worked at Pacific Convenience & Fuels full-time for more than 3 years

ProsFor all the negatives the employees get along well. Almost an unspoken pledge to not make things worse for each other.

ConsMediocre benefits, low salaries, no structure for raises and reviews, and an egomaniac owner. The owner has no sense of appreciation of the employees. Managers are afraid to stand up to the owner for fear of losing their jobs.

Advice to Senior ManagementGrow a spine.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Over worked, under paid

Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee)

I worked at Pacific Convenience & Fuels full-time for less than a year

ProsMade extra cash while I was looking for another job. That aside, none.

ConsI worked 60-75 hour work weeks, regularly. Got paid barely above minimum wage. Got sick, doctors wanted me out of work for a few weeks to run some tests and let me rest (since the condition was thanks to being so overworked)- Instead of giving me a few weeks off, they fired me for being sick, since I couldnt be their pack mule anymore.

Advice to Senior ManagementPay your managers more, respect your employees, and actually care about your hard working employees.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

So much potential, but lack of proper direction = getting nowhere

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Pacific Convenience & Fuels

ProsCompensation is fair enough and company does a good job with work/life balance. Some of management is excellent. Most co-workers get along fairly well.

ConsComplete lack of communication within the company. High turnover rate, especially in corporate and accounting department. Lack of processes and procedures in place. Higher management is very reactive vs. proactive. District and store management is very spotty - some good, others not at all.

Advice to Senior ManagementPut processes and procedures in place, improve communicaiton within the company so all employees are on the same page. Create and distribute employee handbook outlining company policies. Begin acknowledging and commending good work across all departments and disciplining (and in some cases weeding out) employees and management who are not performing.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
