Productive work enviroment
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Danville, IN – May 22, 2013
Pros: able to be creative!
Cons: trying to empty the fryers and not able to lift them.
Starting up the fryer first thing in the morning, slicing meets and cheeses to put on display, then adding the finishing garnish. I loved working in the deli because I was able to be creative with food..... HOW FUN! The most difficult part of the job was making sure all the foods in the freezer were rotated properly so we didn't have so much spoilage.

Good experience.
Cashier/Customer Service (Current Employee), Bowling Green, OH – February 5, 2013
Pros: freedom to use computer, do homework, friendly staff, good manager.
Cons: uneven work hours, sub-par pay, occasionally overwhelming shifts.
Working at Marathon will definitely give you an excess of customer service experience. You will meet many regular customers and do standard part-time tasks. There is a ton of freedom to do homework and such.

Has decent salary.
Cashier (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – September 26, 2012
Pros: it pays the bills, exceptable salary.
Cons: customer's poor attitude make it difficult to work at this location day in and day out.
A typical day at this company makes me happy I have a job, but as for a happy place to be in daily, would not be my first choice to spend my time. The customers that visit this gas station are mostly, if not all, very rude, loud, ungrateful, messy, and very disrespectful towards me and every other employee that works for this company. They treat us – more... as if were, ( the employees) uneducated, worthless and insignificant, when really everyone that is employeed there is either in college or has been to college. I myself have attended Wilbur Wright College but unfortunately had to drop out because I had to choose between paying my bills as a full time employee or going to school and further educating myself. I can say without a doubt I have made the wrong decision. As for management, lazy, would be a word best to describe them. When things go wrong at this company, they are not in any hurry to fix the problem and make things better. There really is not any hard part of my job. It is a gas station. I know what to do as far as customer service. I respect people that visit this store, even when they do not respect me. I would say the only good part of my job at this company would only be, it pays my bills. I am looking for a respectable job in a good neighborhood, and to work with a company that cares for their employees and cares how they look as a company. – less
