Marathon Oil Employer Reviews

Worked as a temp. Scheduled meetings in Outlook, kept calendars, updated contacts as needed. Coordinated Domestic and International travel. Prepare BER within Concur. Used the e-counsel filing system. Prepared Engagement Letters and correspondence.

Marathon Oil Company (the upstream company after the division) is a great company to work for with top notch compensation, work life balance and great company culture and company values. However, be ready to remain in the same titile/grade for a long time as promotions are rare even after 10 years in the same role, the salary keeps going up. There is – more... also a lack of challenging opportunities so job satisfaction is low. The hardest part of job is staying busy for 8 hours a day. The leadership lacks the vision to grow the company and has sold off all the international ventures and turned the company into a domestic oil producer. The culture for new ventures is to look for low risk opportunities of which there are not many. – less

Day to day operations of a full service gas station. I learned cash handling, customer service skills, and time management.The hardest part of the job was standing for 10-12+ hours with minimal breaks. The most enjoyable was the customers

This was a part time position and I really wasn't there long enough to establish a repor with the industry. I did learn a lot and would have liked to stay longer but I had to seek permanent employment and did so.

Marathon has fostered a culture of professionalism and intens environmental concern. In my time there I can honestly say that I never heard anyone complain about their job. I was and witnessed fellow employees treated with respect at all times. Everyone was clearly on board with making the company profitable and had taken personal ownership their own – more... performance in that regard.

During my time at Marathon a learned to handle an elaborate data base that seemed to confound many of my co-workers. I also was able to use my problem solving skills regarding the efficient cost effective transport of ethanol to various terminals. My day consisted of tracking incoming shipments of ethanol on river barges and by rail and arranging the transport of the product either by hiring a carrier or via Marathon's own fleet. This required working closely with analysts from the Dispatch. – less

I normally like to be at work early and utilize my time management wisely. I read and answer all emails to the best of my ability and then handle any deadlines for that days work then due daily work as it is needed.

I am actually seconded to Marathon Oil from AMEC Oil & Gas Americas As the Senior/Lead Electrical Engineer for an offshore Platform Project.

Interning with this company gave me the opportunity to develop professionally as personally.

Awesome place to work, great people! great city. learned a lot while there!

Marathon has good values and care for there employees. I have gained valuable knowledge in the CBM field.

For my first year of college, I earned a full scholarship at
Findlay College. In the morning, we had classes at the college.
In the afternoon, we worked in the Steno Pool at the home
office of Marathon OIl Company in the Western part of our
country. Marathon Oil is the Exxon Oil company here in the East.

We did all the typing of letters from the Steno – more... Pool for the company. – less

Great working conditions and excellent project team. All the project co-workers were high caliber individuals who were dedicated to their work.

I love working for this company, but want to reloate to Denver from Fort Collins.

A typical day at work would very slow, we had enough chores to keep us busy though. I learned how to run a cash register as well as keep the cash drawer balanced throughout the day. the management was okay at this job, we never saw much of our supervisors as they owned bigger gas stations at other locations. my co-workers were very helpful when I first – more... started there. The hardest part of the job was keeping myself busy, I like being in fast paced enviroments and that was not the job for me. The most enjoyable part of the job would have to be meeting new people everyday. I am a people person so seeing new faces each day was very enjoyable. – less

I had an awesome boss so it made the job enjoyable. Nothing hard about the job and they cared what their employees thought. I had a mix of co workers......some were all right and some were not. Hours were good.

There are a lot of chances to learn area of the oil and gas business. The people are great, but the management is not.

Long interview process for professional jobs, they seem to want to focus on negative things like why you left your last job. It's like a witch hunt, and they seem to wrapped up real tight about the tiniest details.

If you're looking for a job like an enigineer or technicial, expect to get interviewed by a 'panel' of people. They are like a lynch mob – more... so be careful.,

Once you get the job, it depends if you are a 'minority' if you want to get lots of training and things like that. It seems jobs go to the 'disadvantaged' - to me, that was racial profiling in reverse., I see myself as an US citizen, not as white, black, hispanic or whatever . We are all the same - let's not profile people and just keep it simple - treat everybody the same. – less

i learned alot about the industry I enjoyed working for them

Very fast paced environment, very long hours but they were very well compensated by the pay.
Employees were great, and so was the overall management.

Start of your shift making sure all monies and products are accurate.interacting with customers with different backgrounds and needs. providing solutions to questions and complaints.
