It was an okay job for a gas station
Retail sales, customer service (Former Employee), Pittsburgh, PA –
Pros: free fountain drinks
Cons: little to no breaks
It mainly consisted of me coming in to relief someone after about fifteen they would leave and i would take care of customers for two hours until the closing co worker came in then I would begin to restock shelves and the cooler, wash the dishes, take out the trash, for the next two hours, and ended my day by providing service to the customers.

I learned – more...  to try and explain more complicated things for customers to understand.

Management for the most part was okay, although he didn't go over how to deal with problems in the store until after they occurred

My co-workers for the most shifted often but I got along with all of them and provided help to them to the best of my abilities.

The hardest part of my job was having to improvise when a new problem risen, we weren't trained for certain situation so we had to improvise to get some problems fixed

The best part of the day was when relief came in, it gave me a chance to move from behind the counter, and take care things around the store – less

Corrupt Culture
Credit Analyst (Former Employee), Warrenville, IL –
Pros: pay
Cons: culture, do as i say, not as i do.
As sure as the sun rises BP will ask you to compromise your integrity. They have the capacity to change the way things are done. They have the systems in place to do so. They choose not to. Don't beleive what you read in the SEC commentaries. They have the funds, systems and ability to fix what's wrong.

The foreign leaders are not to fond of their – more...  American employees. They think we're stupid and they let you know it. – less

It was Great till it was gone
Site Manager for BP/Amoco.I (Former Employee), BP/Amoco Pottstown PA –
Pros: once settled it was a pleasure to do my job.
Cons: being on call 24 hrs a day
A Typical Day at work,Greet You're staff,Enter the daily information send to corporate.Check in vendors oversee site operations.Execute orders other than daily functions.
The area Managers always appreciated after I got the store in line,they never had to worry about my store.
My Co-workers,My Staff once I weeded out the thieves we all knew our jobs – more...  and got along quite well.None of us wanted to lose our jobs.We all stayed till the last day.
The hardest part of the job being on call 24 hrs a day if some one couldn't come in.

The Most enjoyable was Being The Site Manager and Knowing my bosses appreciated the Job performance I put out. – less

Great Company to Work for
Inventory Control Specialist (Former Employee), La Palma, CA –
Pros: great pay/benefits, great treatment
Cons: none that i can think of
Great benefits, great pay, alot of opportunity. BP treats their employees very well, at least in the corporate offices. I tracked fuel for the most part and was paid very well for it. BP as well as our carriers got us free food from nice restaurants every once in awhile. They also held little fairs and other such things to keep employees involved.

Mad Dog Rig Repair- Great Team to work with!
Office Administrator (Construction) (Former Employee), Ingleside, TX (Kiewit Yard) –
Pros: people variety of people from all over the world.
Cons: saying goodbye to the employees i got to befriend.
I was very excited to get the opportunity to escort and shadow T&M and Inspectors as the rig was being repaired. I was fortunate to interact with a variety of people from all over the world. There were many employees coming in and out of our offices, so I was able to meet & greet everyone who walked through the front door.
I felt indigent because everyone – more...  knew that I was the point of contact for the project and I wanted to make everyone feel welcome.
I would say the hardest part was getting to know many people & then saying goodbye to them.
Learning about the complexity of the rig (Mad Dog) was amazing to me and I learned alot! – less

Windows 7 Migration Team Lead (Current Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: flexible work hours
Cons: very segmented in your responsibilities
I have enjoyed doing contract work at BP. The culture is very diverse and the morale is quite good for a larger company. I would consider working at BP again but not as a contract employee.

Good working environment with good benefits.
Executive Administrative Assistant (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: gym, cafeteria, track
Cons: not enough parking.
Working at BP was awesome. BP offered a safe and up-to-date working environment. High tech office equipment and nice office furniture. I cannot answer about the benefits at BP, however, the employees spoke very highly of the benefits and compensation. I undered that once you become a BP employee you become apart of all their benefits. Management believed – more...  in training and promoting. In addition, BP offered a lot of fringe benefits for their employees. – less

Good Place To Work
Cashier (Former Employee), Petersburg, WV –
Pros: meet a lot of new people
Cons: you don't get 40 hours, little in benefits.
I worked for BP twice. Both times was for the same owners at 2 seperate locations. BP provides quality products, including gas, at competitive convenience store prices. As an employee, I earned a fair competitive wage and was treated great by the owners. My schedule was part time and varied between day and evening shifts.

Fast paced work place.
Console Operator (Former Employee), Kirwan, QLD –
Enjoyable working conditions, but it was a fast paced work place. Sometimes was too much work for one person on their own. Not much problem solving taught.ie. what to do in case of computer failure, card failure, delivery problems.
