BP Employer Reviews

The most enjoyable part of the job was the employees and regular customers. Hardest part was rude and unfriendly customers and bad management. Things learnt about the job, was that BP makes lots of money, with no real care for their employees i.e low pay, long hours and not much benefits....

I worked on a 4 week on/off rotation as I was based in Iraq. I joined BP not long after they started in Iraq and over the 2 years I was there I saw significant changes take place, both within the Oil Field and the country itself.

bp offers many opportunities however it is low pay and a lot is expected of you. also with the insertion of the m&s brand the company struggles with direction and creates challenges that are often unnecessary.

Every day is different however our main responsibility is delivering good customer service to our customers. Duties could also include working in the Wild Bean Cafe section of the store dealing with food and drinks. Another part is working on the shop floor making sure the store looks good to every customer that comes in. i have learnt more about customer – more... service and how to remain professional no matter what the customer is like. the management are good very understanding of the employees needs and what they can do to keep them happy. – less

That's a good place for work and I'm still looking for a place better than this one with a good salary.

I was at BP for 18 years. I knew my job and felt very confident. I worked well with my employees and supervisors. The hardest part of the job was, at times, you were pulled in several different directions and had to balance everything. A retail environment is a difficult one at times. I worked very hard and was compensated for that. At the end of the – more... day I knew I made a difference in my business. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to meet so many people from so many different walks of life. I talked to everyone that came in and knew my customers by name. There were a lot of return customers that came there because of the friendly greetings they received and were made to feel important. – less

A typical day working at the gas station might be described as 'unpredictable'. You see many familiar faces as well as ever-changing faces each day on the job. Working at the gas station was a HUGE learning experience because I dealt with ALL sorts of people. It's amazing how many different personalities there are out there and how you must adapt to – more... that personality in order to make the customer feel fully-satisfied with the service he or she is receiving. During my work at the gas station, there were many nights in which I worked on my own closing up the station. This may have been the hardest part of the job. Working by yourself, you become responsible for everything including the maintenance of the gas station. At first, it felt a bit overwhelming, but like everything else you must simply adapt. The more and more I did it, the more comfortable I became with the idea. The most enjoyable part of the job was definitely all of the wonderful people that came to the gas station on almost a daily basis. The ones where I had memorized what they needed and they knew me by name. After some time, it becomes somewhat of a little family, which was by far the best part. – less

I realy liked this job but i was the only worker for the longest time so it was hard work.

Go in start in gas station then end up working both the gas station and the subway that was inside the gas station.

make coffee, fill up the cappuccino machine, check the CO2 tanks, wiped down counters, filled the drawer with money from the safe. made sure the lottery machines were running, made sure the cigarettes and tobacco was filled, turned on – more... the pumps and checked all the trash cans on the property and the pumps to make sure the receipt paper was filled.

Then checked on subway to see if the person who was working needed any help. Helped if needed, if not went back up to the counter and waited on customers to start showing up.

Repeat all day.

Management was awesome. then they sold it to a couple of guys who ran the gas station down. raised things and treated people bad.

Co-workers came and went. They did not stay long til moving on. – less

Assist Customers. I Did Not Like The Pay. The Hours was Ok Did Not Like working The Night Shift. The Manager Was Cool But Had an Attitude Every Now and Then. Wanted A New Job.

Good compensation with room for personal and professional growth.

i was a cahsier at this gas station. i learn how to do lottery, invontory in the store everynight i left this job and clean and the lock the store up by myself every night.

The work was very reasonable. They worked with my schedule, and were a pleasure to be around.

I would recommend people to work for this company. You learn more than your job duties so you can continue to grow and learn more. Great coworkers we all get along great!

Hardest part is always changing culture.

This is a great place to work. I only worked as an intern but the experience was great!
