Typical day at work would be assist the costumers, clean areas of the store, make sure everything was in order and where it was supposed to be. I learned great costumer service skills, handling money and train new cashiers. The most enjoyable part of the job was just working. Hardest part of the job was at the beginning when I had no idea what I was – more... doing, but I learned very quick how to handle everything and so it became an awesome experience. – less

My current coworkers are some of the best people I have ever worked with professionally and morally. The alternative fuel powerplant work has been interesting. The job definitely lacks the proper equipment to do the work safely and properly. Unfortunately the ownership and management does not hesitate to berate and belittle all employees on a regular – more... basis. Chaos and disorganization can be counted on daily. – less

This place was great for me, because i loved working at gas stations. Its the busy life and to say hi and be there for people in the morning who just need a smile with their coffee.
my mornings began by doing the books, and getting the coffee, donuts, and papers ready for people. Some people I knew their schedule and would have some stuff ready for – more... them, if they were behind the "normal" time they would come in.
I was just a cashier and I moved up fast as a asst. manager, the owner treated me great as did the store manager. They wanted to give me the postion but i was going for my 2nd AS degree to get my BS degree.
I think the hardest part of this job was I had to leave at night. The best part of the job was helping the customers; with either directions or a great place to eat. And helping them with what they needed for that day. Another part i loved is that i would stock and organize the cooler. That was my area, and I had a pattern, I kept it clean and stocked, and when I was out of something I would let owner and store manager know. – less

its a good workplace because you can interact with new people everyday .

Company makes about 65,000 the first three days of each month. And pulls in about 12,000 a day after but cannot pat there employees more than 10.50 ph.

I have been there since 1989, Very employee oriented and safety conscious company to work for!

A typical day at work would be to run in and clean, fill cups, bag ice, stock cooler, and unclog a toilet right after clocking in because some of the workers would not do this. I received my Servsafe and TABC certificates. The management, in my opinion, are too lad back. Many of my previous co-workers here have been with this company for years and have – more... stopped working as hard. They would push the work onto the new employees and two were fairly new and stole from the register. No, I didn't fit in. The hardest part of the job was dealing with the intoxicating customers. The most enjoyable part of the day, for me, was clocking out. Really. I have to be honest. – less

Typical day at work consists of managing, inventory check/ordering, employee schedules and accounting. I have learned to become a better team leader, role model and overall a successful managing partner. The hardest part of the job is employee shortage, hard to get employee to work overtime and the most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with – more... lot of customers everyday and taking care of them. – less

I work at Valero, I was a sub-teacher I needed a summer job. But decided to stay I have all my benefits and more. Do enjoy my everyday duties. Always have the need to learn more, and there is always more. Been lucky to have great bosses. I am currently assistant manager, getting ready to go the next step with the help of many great employees and bosses. – more... (been there 3 years)
Thanks – less

Management wasn't the greatest but other than that it was a fun job to have.

good place to work you can move up in the company if you try to. fast pace work place

Operated the cash register, took inventory, arranged merchandise,cleaned, provided customer service.

Traditional leadership approach and little potential to grow

Valero is a large corporation that offers plenty opportunity for advancement for those who possess the drive to get the job done.
Valero has a great culture that is hard to find anywhere else.

Everyone but the 1 mgr was great to work with. You always have to worry if the mgr is going to stab you in your back. We always tried to make our shift fun. Our regular customers were a joy to see everyday.

Our company is always evolving and implementing new things. We recently separated from Valero and our new name is Corner Store. Being a store manager is always a challenge. I have a good crew that works together. The hardest part of the job is nothing really it is a very simple. I enjoy the pleasant customers that we serve on a daily basis.

I would get to work at 5am count down two safes. Input daily deposit and morning paperwork. Make sure store is up to par for our morning coffee bunch. Make sure overnight person completed all his duties. Check in vendors as the arrive. Assist Customers when needed. Create a new order/stock groceries (every other day). Make sure store was maintained – more... by employees. – less

I liked the employees I worked with which made a typical day go quickly.

Fun to work at, good amount of experience and exposure, friendly management, little hard to manage irate customers at night.
