Bonne Journee-tabernaque
JV Driver-Construction Millwright (Former Employee), AB – January 10, 2013
Pros: great bunch of guys from all over canada
Cons: discriminating millwright superintendent
The millwright superintendent was a jerk-discriminator, trying to keep all the work for east coasters. West coasters were deamed to be stealing east coaster's work. He hated us. He favoured New Brunswicker and the NFLDers. The quebecers, he hated also. They are good workers and a great bunch of guys. The quebecers and west coasters were instrumental – more... in bringing in the job for the client. – less

Poor Compensation, no accountability
Engineer (Current Employee), Scotford – July 17, 2012
Pros: every 2nd friday off
Cons: all of the above
Management is trained from within and are typically poor performers technically therefore they are moved into supervisory roles as there is no other placement for them. No accountability for the work therefore poor performers and top performers are ranked equally. Terrible morale within the organization. Compensation used to be great but now Shell is – more... low end and HR guidelines are controlled by the Dutch. As a young engineer Shell is a good starting point to gain experience. If you are a senior engineer, don't waste your time, you will be dissapointed. – less

I worked for Shell when the stores were all corporate stores. Then Shell made a corporate decision to cluster store in groups of 10-15 and lease them
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Worked at 7 different location in the tampa area. – May 17, 2013
Pros: met many people of different walks of life. good benefits.
Cons: if i had no night person i was the night person. very long hours. always on the lookout of theft.
My work day started ar 5am - 6am. You were given 3 competitors to report their gas prices and then you started your daily paperwork. Paperwork took a hour or two and then you would start your weekly order (depending on the day). Help the cashier when things were backed up, stock and clean. We had monthly inventory by a special person who would count – more... everything and compute numbers and tell you if you were in the negative in product (shortages by possible incorrect vendor counts, employee theft, or customer theft). I increased my knowledge with the EPA and OSHA regarding gas sales and had to know what kind of tanks you had underground. Every sore was different. Some gas stations premium gas is blended. I loved merchandising and was made the merchandiser for my district. We had many meetings and was always kept informed of changes to our products or just manager meetings to boost morale. I always had great inventories, we had undercover people come in and thry to bu alcohol and tobacco. I was always in 100 percent compliance. I also had carwashes at the locations I managed and vaccums that had to be attended to daily. – less
