overall the company is great with regards to money, time off, work life balance. They could do a better job with feedback to underperforming staff overall

It's alright

Overnight Associate (Former Employee) - Port Perry, ON - 11 May 2022

Very independent and you can learn alot. You won't have anyone with you so if something goes south you have to deal with it yourself. At times it can be challenging majority of the times it can be alright.

Great benefits and good work life balance. However, reorg every 1-2 years

Recruiter (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 3 May 2022

Good work life balance and high caliber of staff members. Safety if number 1 priority and great processes in place. Sad to see the diminished footprint in Canada.

Competitive salary, management competent, liked all coworkers. Offshoring many jobs and moving many to Houston.

Employee (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 26 April 2022

Was at Shell for over 10 years. From what I saw, and discussed with many employees, they merged with a lot of the groups in the US and our bonus pool got diluted. They also started selling off most Canadian assets and off shoring many of the positions. I took a voluntary package and left.I liked almost all of my coworkers and the management team. Salary and bonus very competitive. I enjoyed working there until shortly before I left. No real complaints.

The regular customers made it bearable.

Cashier/Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Langley, BC - 26 April 2022

Management/owner was a complete jerk. One day he was your best friend, the next yelling at you for nothing. We are expected to do 10hrs worth of work in 6hrs BY YOURSELF. Aka you're the only one in the station. God forbid you have to stock the cooler and it's busy. My location had a steady set of regulars that made it bearable. They were amazing.

Good summer job

Gas Attendant (Former Employee) - Bentley, AB - 14 April 2022

I worked at the Bentley shell when before it came esso. I pumped gas and filled propane tanks. It was a good first job for the summer and being small town it could become very busy trying to keep up with the customers

Shell gas station

Gas Station Attendant/Cashier (Former Employee) - Clarenville-Shoal Harbour, NL - 6 April 2022

Loved working there until the recent manager got hired there. Worked there for 7 years. Went on a leave for Personal reasons and was told I’d have my morning shifts back and 40hrs a week and the new manager wouldn’t give me my position back and only part time hours. So yeah that was very unfair in my opinion. Clearly 7 years working there, not to mention the second longest worker there got treated as if they didn’t care about all the hard work and time I spent there over there years.

Management is in wrong hands.

GSA (Former Employee) - London, ON - 25 March 2022

They won't give you stat Pay if you work on holiday such as Christmas, new year's. Worst management. They will ask you to do what so ever they want and they even ask you to pay for drive off which cannot be tolerated at any circumstances.

Collaborative work environment

Category Manager Contracts & Procurement – Wells North America (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 22 March 2022

Shell provides a good learning opportunity. Any other company I worked for after Shell is on much lower level in terms of quality and competency of management and collaborative work environment.
