Hess Corporation Employer Reviews

Learning of higher level corporate standards of administration

My typical day at work was standing all day, taking a break only when it was slow.
This management was the worst I have ever worked with in all my years of working. The store manager's idea of workforce management was everyone is on call. If you didn't work on a day you got called in on your day off, then you were going to get fired or have your hours – more...  reduced. Did I mention I got fired because I could not work on my scheduled day off when I asked to come in?
The assistant manager was the laziest woman I have every worked with.
Most of my co-workers were great, hard-working people.
The most enjoyable part of the job was working with my co-workers; they were a great crew. – less

taking care of my custers needs learned alot on needs how diffrent we all can be.

Typical retail job. Most coworkers are friendly and helpful

I enjoy what what I do, but the ignorance of most of the customers are having an adverse effect on me, don't know how much longer I can last.

the best part of the job is the non-ignorant customers.

My shifts at Hess usually lasted 10 to 12 hours graveyard shift and I would usually have to return back to work anywhere from 8 to 10 hours later (sometimes as little as 7) to do another shift. The work was hard, the hours were strange, but despite all that it was the most fulfilling job I'd had in a while. It sometimes got EXTREMELY busy due to the – more...  winter season (It was located in upstate New York) when the snow plows would come through but the work was never dull, there was always something to do. The majority of my coworkers were very pleasant to be around, and the management at that location was some of the best I have had the pleasure of working with in a long time. The best part of the job was the sense of responsibility I felt while I was at work, It was up to me and another person to make sure everything was ready for the next day, since it was a 24 hour location. – less

Was one of the best places to work...until they outsourced to IBM - But I do understand, and hold no grudges :D

The retail channel of trade needs a serious 3rd party 360 feed back with and John's ear to listen then act. The old timers with strong work ethic live and believe in "the Hess Way" and are some how holding this entire retail channel of trade together. However, the thin political string may be a retail name changer. Politics, reactive manaagement, smoking – more...  mirrors, egos, fluff retail tours, high stress and inconsistent weak operations working countless hours makes this channel of trade very unstable. I feel Hess retail branding needs a gas station make over. Someone dropped the ball Leon handed them and they left Hess branded retail to run mismanaged. Someone is trusting in some of the wrong people to lead their HESS retail sites. – less
