Fine place to be between jobs
Cashier/Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Victoria, BC - 9 March 2021
My time there the employees were nice but it was a very average job. I stayed on through covid while all but 1 other employee went on cerb. I was running the store working overtime along with a second job. Most of the essential businesses got a $2.00 an hour pay increase so I asked about that and was told they'd think about it and gave me a $25.00 giftcard for save on which I called my hush money. Everyone high up in the company did not care about the lower people. Was not a fun experience and I did not feel appreciated for how much I did for them.
Pros
Easy job to do
Cons
Entitled customers, high up managers and owners, minimum wage with rare and slight increases in pay

Aucune securite d emploi

Pros
10% de rabais sur ce qui n est pas en special
Cons
Pas de pause, pas d heure de repas. Il faut manger debout entre 2 clients.

Fast paced environment. Pay is terrible, Unpleasant and disrespectful Higher management
Store Manager (Former Employee) - Mississauga ON - 26 February 2021
Worked with the same employer for almost 10 years. No pay raise or chances of growth. Higher Management treats you like you don’t exist. Unrealistic Sales targets.
Pros
Flexible timing
Cons
No pay raise. Long hours. A lot of responsibility

Very unfriendly
Guest Service Attendant (Current Employee) - St. Albert, AB - 13 January 2021
Initially the job seemed pretty simple, just another run of the mill cashier position. Over time however, the management changed, I got put on nights, and things started getting worse. The hours aren't very good, as they have too many employees to guarantee anyone a five day week. The store is extremely cold overnight, and even if there are no customers you are expected to be standing behind the counter at all times. There are no lunch breaks and when you want to take a break you are required to either inform your coworker during the day or stay up front and eat. Overall I'd reccomend people avoid this location, the management is unfriendly and unless you are a friend of theirs you will almost certainly be put on during holidays. Other coworkers were treated similarly and have their own issues with the job.
Pros
Slow pace with minor bouts of activity.
Cons
Irregular hours, the location is a 24hr store and you will be working over holidays, The managment is unfriendly and will sacrifice your comfort if they feel it necessary.

Relaxed work environment
GSA(Gas Station Attendant) (Former Employee) - Kamloops, BC - 24 November 2020
I loved working at Petro. I moved to the island so i had to quit. I will most likely try to get a job at a petro on the island. I would recommend working at Petro. I will tell you, you will get yelled at by coworks and customers.
Pros
Free slushies and coffee
Cons
Dont get paid double if your part time on a holiday. Only full time employees

Jobs at Petro Canada
Used to be good
Tank truck driver (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 31 October 2020
If you want low wages in the trucking industry and managers who never answer your calls or questions or simply are never there then Petro Canada Fuels is for you.
Pros
Experience, then move on to a better place to work
Cons
Management and pay scale is the heart of the cons with this environment.

Just a pay check
Cashier and Customer Service (Former Employee) - Port Elgin, ON - 23 October 2020
Honestly, i would not recommend. I never felt respected or safe. Laws and guidelines were mere suggestions to my boss. What ever is illegal to do to your employees, he did it. The location I worked for was so bad, they're no longer called Petro, it's just a variety store now. It was very smart for Petro to pull their name from those people, they would have destroyed the Petro name.
Pros
Customers and close proximity to house
Cons
Management, cleaning standards, not recieving breaks, inappropriate harrassment, physical and mental abuse.. to name a few

Productive workplace, fun if you like to meet new people
Customer Service (Former Employee) - Wiarton, ON - 5 October 2020
Great job to meet local people. In the summer it was extremely busy with the tourist season. This was a bit difficult due to the pandemic. Plus the station had the only restroom in town that was open. As you work by yourself you have to clean as well as watch the pumps, cars and people. You also have to fill the coolers and shelves.
Pros
Meet lots of people
Cons
Very busy in the summer

Ne recommencerait pas
Caissière, service à la clientèle (Former Employee) - Saint-Hyacinthe, QC - 30 September 2020
Bon premier emploi pour un étudiant à temps PARTIEL si tu es bien formé. Ma formation a été bâclée et j'ai du tout apprendre par moi-même, la gestion était mal organisée mais ça m'a appris à avoir un service à la clientele hors pair et à maitriser parfaitement une caisse. Pas vraiment de possibilité d'avancements. Si tu es de soir, assure toi que les employés de nuit vont rentrer car sinon tu es la personne qui restera sur le plancher. Faire des 16 heures en ligne, ça m'est arrivé. Souvent.

Love to work here but
GSA (Current Employee) - Langenburg, SK - 23 September 2020
I absolutely love my coworkers and my management team, the only downfall is there isnt much room to grow. Title and wage wise. The job is fairly easy, and you make a lot of friends, whether it be coworkers or customers.
Pros
Fun work place, great people to work with, fairly easy
Cons
No room to grow career wise, or wage wise.

Productive and fun
Cashier (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 26 August 2020
You can earn extra bonuses when you work hard and pass your customer service requirements. Always up sell and promote deals. Its can be draining at times if you don't take a break. Try not to be rude to customers, even when they are rude to you.

Stressful
Extra (Former Employee) - Rock Creek, BC - 6 August 2020
Working at the perto in rock creek is an terrible job. The job itself is a good one but the people you work with are mean and constantly talking behind your back and making fun of you especially the manager.It is a stressful job with lots of drama, plus they don't flow food safe protocol in the deli such as washing the veggies but mostly the lettuce, and there supposed to be on a boiled water advisory but there refuse to follow it "because they don't have time". I have never had such a bad work experience then the one I had here I do not recommend this job to anyone.
