Valvoline Instant Oil Change Employer Reviews

not a good place to work for. can't live off what they pay. I have a family.

A typical at Valvoline was a fast pace workplace. I learned different things about cars. the manager was very outgoing. The hardest working on. weekends. co-workers were fun to work with. The most enjoyable of the job was the overtime

I have worked for a few companies, this has been one of the greatest sounding, but worst acting. Great idea very poor execution. The company kept the upper management staff that destroyed the company they bought, which are there to train, but have very horrible training skills. They will throw new employees into the shark pit with just a gloves and – more... safety glasses, oh and a binder to fill out. – less

I worked for this place for 2 1/2 years never out sick, and late only a few times. I worked 55 hours a week when I was only required to work 50 for my salaried position. I was transferred without consent and was told by text by the shop manager. The company kept putting off my raise due to traveling 30 extra miles which came up to an extra 150 a week – more... for a round trip. – less

I am the customer service representative who deals with sales. Since working there, I've learned how to be very persuasive when it comes to sales. I have also learned much about cars and services. I am Valvoline certified in changing oil, tire rotations, serpentine belt replacement, and many others.
My coworkers are amazing and make every day an enjoyment. – more... I love working with them. The hardest part of the job is to stay with the steady flow when we get busy. There’s a lot that needs to be gone over with the customers and their cars and you have to make sure you hit every point. The most enjoyable part of the job would definitely be the people I work with. We make it fun, but we’re still able to be effective and get the job done right. – less

I enjoyed my time at bell tire. Ihad the best work experience that a person could ask for.

Don't work here unless you have no choice! All the company cares about is profits and they do not care how the employees make them.

I received great experience in a franchise business, learning the way the franchise wants it ran through their training program and then teaching new employees through the same methods. The enjoyable parts of the job were being able to educate customers on automobile maintenance and taking care of their cars.The people were great to work with.

Use the forklift to move and weigh the product.
Load and unload trucks and machines

Usually a day at work was great. The biggest problem was within management there were favorites and these favorites did not do their job. I learned a lot about myself from this experience, first of all I feel now that my leadership skills are quite exceptional, an second I have the ability to multitask very well under very stressful situations.

Perfect place to go for quick advancement when you have previous background with automobiles.

The hardest part of the job is trying to sell to customers in a low economy. I learned to except a "no" and still provide excellent customer service.

Valvoline is very busy all the time. I have learned how to become a great manager. My co-workers helped me out to see me succeed. The hardest part of my job was learning the ways of Valvoline. I have been an auto technician for 15 years and I had to learn a different way on how to do things. I love cars & trucks. I love building them and just working – more... on them. I have never thought I would be in a managers position but it really is not that bad. I still get to do what I love but just with a little more responsibility. – less

Valvoline Instant Oil Change was a great starting point for anyone that is interested in learning more about cars. Management was great and whenever there was down time it consisted group meetings on what we needed to improve and work on to move up in the company. My co workers ended up being really great friends and I can say that we will stay in touch – more... for a long time. The hardest part of this job was when we were short staffed and had to compensate for the lost person but it was a challenge and at the end of the day was worth it. I enjoyed every part of my job and was always learning more and more about cars as new ones came in. At Valvoline I learned how to be apart of a great time, and I learned that giving Customers a great service and showing them that we really care about them will have them leaving happy and coming back the next time. – less

They're "military management" is a joke and they really have to get with the times, no leadership no mentoring its all sales numbers focused. It's just forcing services down customers throat when most of the customers just want a quick oil change, just like the company name says.

VIOC is not your normal Quick Lube business. You quickly learn how to work on all types of cara and you also learn valued sales techniques that help you converse with a customer that may be uncomfortable, and help put them at ease. Co-workers are hard working, and enjoyable to work with. It is a very busy job, with a lot of running around to ensure – more... quick service. – less

Advancement is quite easy if you are willing to relocate or live in an area that is close to several service centers. The immediate management is great but there are far to many steps to the chain of command. Expectations are not completely outrageous to start but after the millions of discounts mailed out are almost impossible to reach.

Utilized knowledge of product for sales.
 Quoted prices and credit terms.
 Counted money to verify amounts and issued receipts for funds received.

Start my day off with a smile and all else comes easy. Long as I know to treat the customers like I want to be treated then I know I have given my best service. I have learned to always use the golden rule when dealing with customers or my employees. Also, when dealing with runing a business I must be prepaired to committ to being there for the company. – more... My co-workers are a puzzle to learn to deal with but once that is complete the job is a cakewalk. Hardest part of the job is trying to figure out a good plan of action when no plan seems logical. The most enjoyable part is seeing the satisfaction and appreciation on my customers' faces. – less

productive and fun workplace with great staff members. i learned that treating people like you would want to be treated helps out a whole lot great customer satisfaction is a must.
