It would be a great place to work if they had better standards of who to hire and if they weren't so cheap.
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee), San Antonio, TX –
Pros: work with your schedule sometimes
Cons: ignore good workers, doesn't give you a raise based on performance, managers are dirty, and don't know what they're doing, too much to list actually
Valero is an ok job, if you just want to get by in life. They promote the wrong people and the system automatically gives you the minimum raise. They don't appreciate the good workers, nor do they acknowledge their hard work; They rather accuse them of stealing, when the person they promoted was the theif. All of the higher positioned employees are – more...  all dirty. I would not reccommend this job to anyone. – less

I was a customer service rep in Valero's company store and I worked as a cashier
Cashier (Former Employee), Mission, TX –
Pros: not a struggling job
Cons: no breaks
Typical day of work is when the store is almost going to close, more customers came and buy what they want. I learned more about customer service, store policies, make the store clean. The management was ok. Didn't have problems with the management. My co-workers were really good helping me, they teached me how to handle the cash register, My hardest – more...  part of my job was also customer service, even more they want me to open the pump gas for them. What enjoys in Valero's, is that when there is no customer, I can have time to do the clean-up and fronting the store. – less

Interesting Environment with Skills Exceeding
Cashier (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: decent benefits
Cons: no breaks
Usually, this company has problems that are managable, but the big influence would be how so many people from different cultures actually work for this corporation. There are also many other people who are customers who also come from different cultures. The usual orders are kept on a log with shipment that comes in every other day during the week. – more...  And the managers are very knowledgable to what goals need to be accomplished. – less

Work with ATM's and Economics of Construction Project
Construction Economic Analyst (Current Employee), San Antonio, TX –
Pros: group events and company volunteering
Cons: no movement
Working with the economics of the retail stores is more of a day in day out process and pretty typical every time. ATM's keep my job a little more interesting on a day to day basis. There are more things that are unexpected and things you have to react to immediately. My co-works are all upper management for both positions. I would say the hardest part – more...  of my job currently is the lack of movement in the company. I am very goal orientated, and it's hard to work towards something if there is nothing there to work towards. Right now I'm keeping my focused on getting the goals just what I am working at on the time. With the ATM's I've be able to work much more with contracts and negotiations and i have really enjoyed that. – less
