Cumberland Farms Employer Reviews

A typical day at work in Cumberland Farms includes a jolly and firm manager. The customers are wonderful folks,you develop a professional/personal relationship with the 'regulars' as well as the vendors. You're always busy and your shift goes by quickly.

you will always have something to do there , you can not advance up the ladder ,nepitism seems the name of the game, very clicky to work for

The co-employees were both fun and friendly, and the customers were extreamly nice.

I opened the store, compared gas prices, did orders, did cashier work, did bank deposits, inventory, etc. I basically did everything at this gas station. I was the relief manager. I even worked 14 days straight when needed. I learned how to be a manager here first. I got along with my co-workers. Ironically, it's a bit of a funny story. I managed over – more... my wife and my mom some days. Some companies would normally look down on that, but because of our work ethic, we were the best team. I would say the hardest part was having to jump in when someone called out or vacation leave on my days off or had to pull longer shifts. However, I'm pretty flexible, so I will bend and not break. I left this job for DNC due to bigger opportunities and higher pay. – less

A typical day at work consisted of arriving on time, in uniform, greeting customers, assisting in their shopping needs, cashing them out at the register, and wishing them a nice day/evening. On the scheduled days, inventory of various products needed to be taken, entered into the computer, and sent via computer to our corporate office/distributor. Brewing – more... coffees every 3 hours to ensure their freshness, as well as keeping up with stocking cups, sweeteners, milk/cream, beverages, food and non food products, some cleaning, and closing the store when it was time. – less

Serve customers /stock shelfs /clean store /keep coffee fresh/receive deliverys

Decent pay, though no benefits and the location I worked in closed

I worked harder then the younger people, to try and advance myself I wanted to show what I was capable of. A younger person received a promotion.

When working, I ran a store without any staff. My earliest exposure to customer service.

overall good place to be a stepping stone, the customers were for the most part good company, co-workers were okay to work with hardest part about the job was the drunks and cleaning up after messy customers

Typical day at work was routine but enjoyable. I learned you have to be very outgoing to work with the public and to please everyone but it was worth it. Went through a lot of managers but in the end, ended up with a great one. The hardest part of the job was learning paper work and learning how much the manager actually has to do every day and by far – more... the most enjoyable part was the great people i was able to work with for 3 years. – less

Would make coffee, cash customers out, clean floors, and stock shelves. My manager and co-workers were all very friendly, but not always on top of getting the jobs done. The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing and talking to some customers on a regular basis. The hardest part of the job was trying to get shelves stocked and keeping the coffee – more... fresh when the store was busy. – less

I enjoy waiting on the public. I love to make the store look its best each and eceryday

The scheduling for work was the only thing that was good about being there plus the pay for a part time job was pretty good. But the managment was not very professional and very unstable. The manager would tell me to do something and when the task would just be started she would switch up and tell me to do several other things and by the time i would – more... get back to the first task she would complain about why it wasn't already finsihed. The manager would talk about her personal life and sexual stuff that had no place in the work place. the money was good but the enviroment was awful. Too many immmature employees that would try to take credit for the work that you would do while they were busy talking on the phone with friends and not working, manager included. I would work a 6-8 hour day with no bathroom break or meal break. – less

This job is pretty good compared to similar type work.
Benefits for full time people are great and there are some benefits for part time people as well.

You have to balance waiting on customers while keeping the store clean

A typical day as a Cumberland Farms employee includes making coffee up to 4 times a shift, waiting on customers, keeping the entire store (exterior and interior) clean, faced and fronted at a level set forth by the Corporate Home Office.
Management is not bad it just appears to be a very stressing job, especially when something goes wrong. Although – more... the co-workers are nice. Since most of the employees are part time you work with a different person every time just about. – less

Enjoyed working with the customers and co-workers. Upon arrival you immediately had work to keep you busy besides waiting on the customers which made the shift go fast. Learned what it takes to run a gas station/mini mart including inventory maintenance, stocking, and overall sanitary/cleanliness of the premises in and out which makes an important impression – more... on regular and new customers. – less

I worked for cumberland farms and from my own experiance and others it is a disgusting company to work for.
I had decided to go to college to better myself and i had let them know a month in advance and i was told it wouldn't be a problem. Then one day right before i started college the supervisor came in and greeted me like nothing was wrong and said – more... "so your going to college good for you!"
About ten min later i was called into the back room and the supervisor asked for my college hrs so they could plan my work around that. Then when i was done he pulled out a blank piece of paper and said "Now write to THE STORE MANAGER" I said why do i need to write a letter to him/her. They were standing right in front of me. He said "your going to request part time or we don't have the hrs for you" I asked what that meant and it was termination. What kind of company values a supervisor like that and why was this ok with the company. Eventually i was descriminated against because of college and my pay and was fired for an obsene thing that was common in that store by all employees and managers and i rarely ever did unless i was off the clock and working for free. which was my cell out. Employees had theirs at the register and in use all the time. The irony is i didn't do that because i didn't want to get FIRED!!!!! I have sooooo many more horror stories and i am too angry right now to finish but in my right to free speech i am telling everyone to stay away from them!!!! – less
