What are perks and other benefits like at Murphy USA?

Great coworkers and flexibility benefits are good

Too much work for one person

Good benefits, good immediate managers

You have a lot to juggle with out enough help to get all tasks done efficiently and effectively

The customers. You know in retail if the customers aren't the problem then the job itself is.

Poor pay, poor management, zero benefits, unrealistic goals, unsafe working conditions.

The ability to hire and train your team and benefits were good.

Upper to middle management had horrible culture and play favorites. Company didn't recognize threats of competition impacting business.

1/2 day remote work, fair benefits

Managers often yell at employees. No training on their multiple software systems. Fox News only allowed on dining room television. If you are not in the "click" you are treated badly.

Benefits and pay for salary

Extreme work loads no work life balance constantly being worried you will be fired because they put urgency on everything pushing this chanting like a colt then they play a sad video to you so you feel obligated to donate to their "non profit" stating only helps employess and when an employee needs help they deliver the most rude email back when your down to the wire about to lose everything they say let us know when your homeless then we will help. They only give to those in need if FEMA or already receiving government help its not for the Employee it's for them to place their money in a shelter stage and donate bare min head ceo and upper manager surve on the board with thr goal to get as much donations and spend less showing profits in the 10s million range but not giving what they receive turning employees away because they don't fall into a tax break is false advertisement

Good benefits. Fridays are half-days.

Terrible work culture straight out of the 90s that has never evolved. Low pay unless you're at the top. Sexism, various -phobias, pay discrimination, 'pizza days', the works. Lack of overtime is grounds for firing. Recently laid off 100 HO employees after acquiring a failing convenience store chain a dozen states away that ended up wasting a ton of money. Management that throws you under the bus. If you work really hard, you might get promoted after several years at your current level. Or you might not. Leaning hard into AI recently, which might not be a con for you, but is for everyone at MUSA currently using it.

No work life balance they will work you 80-90 hours on a wack salary. Salary is terrible for the amount of stress that comes with it. Management is all about favoritism. Mom and daughter training each other. If someone calls out they expect you to stay don’t matter how many hours you’ve already worked that day you could be doing open to close. You have to force product down customers throats if not you get a write up. Managers cussing at employees via texts. District Managers will take up for store managers before they would anyone else. District managers only come to store once a month. District managers forging documents saying they are doing store audits but asking the store manager to send them pictures of the store so they don’t have to make the trip. District Manager does the bare minimum and you feel like you have no support being a store manager. You’re just a number to the company.

When I think of cons the only good thing I can think of is the benefits is fairly decent.

What can I say good? Yes, the benefits are good. They are on par with what you find in almost any major corporation (so why not go somewhere else). Keep your doctor and dentist back home because you will not find adequate facilities in El Dorado (and avoid needing any major medical procedures here). Also, Fridays are remote (for now); you will need that to decompress. That's it, and those positives fade fast.

So you are considering relocating to El Dorado, AR, for a position with a corporation that has done a great job selling you on the opportunity. Cue up Admiral Ackbar because you will likely find yourself unhappy and stuck. Now for some bad. Your stress levels and the internal culture will hit you pretty hard and quickly. If you are a forward-thinker who believes you can make a difference, they will immediately squash that idea. They are VERY set in their ways and not interested in your "new-fangled" ideas. Your pay will be mediocre but passable for the cost of living in El Dorado (if you never expect to leave). To echo another reviewer who put it perfectly, "Supervisors get in the way of advancement, and coworkers will get over on you any way they can." Promotions appear based on an "old boy network" and how well you make buddies. Your experience and skills will be separate from the equation. On paper, they have a "diversity and inclusion" program that is neither diverse nor inclusive. If you have any neurodiversity traits, you have already lost. A word on El Dorado. It's an awful little, tiny town made worse by the lack of any place close to escape. MurphyUSA has turned it into a company town with little investment in the city's livability. The city had its heyday, but now it is a dark husk of its former self. MurphyUSA would set themselves better by relocating to Little Rock or Dallas. Still, then they would have to compete to keep talent. Will you be happy here? It's a superficial and toxic culture with little opportunity for advancement, high stress, and low morale (except for a few "great place to work!" people/zombies). But if you can make friends easily (work a room) and live on benefits, you might do ok. If you like it here, enjoy the Kool-Aid and jump on in. If you do not like it here, well, you are stuck. There is nowhere else to go, and the company knows that. If you want to leave the company, you will be looking to relocate again because there is nothing else in El Dorado. Do you want to take this risk and (considering the historical turnover) wind up miserable and stuck in this small town? My view is a big "hard pass" on this one. Save yourself.

pay and benefits thats all

work here if you want to be under paid and over worked, they expect too much to be done with the allotted hours and the amount of people you have on staff every week
