Working at Speedway SuperAmerica in Framingham, MA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Framingham, MA Area

"I don't even know where to begin with this job. Now I will say that I started working at Speedway as soon as they took over Hess. So I have no idea how this place was run before being taken over. First, I was hired right on the spot. That's no problem. I specifically asked my manager what I should wear on my first day. He said, "Don't worry about it." Okay. So I wore jeans and a button down shirt. It's a gas station for crying out loud. I show up on my first day and he says, "You can't be wearing jeans." Well, I specifically asked you and you said not to worry about it. I wasn't trained AT ALL. I observed a cashier for about an hour and I was off and running. I had never worked with cigarettes or lottery before so I was pretty much winging it. On my second day someone came in and asked for a pack of cigarettes. I get them and then ask for ID. Well, it turns out had I been trained I'd know you have to ask for ID FIRST. No one told me and the store received a "demerit" for not carding first. Oh, well. Maybe they'll train the next person correctly. I was also told in my interview that I would never have to close (either 10 or 11 PM) and open the next morning. This happened in my first week! So much for that. I was also told in my interview that they do numerous yearly reviews with substantial raises. False. They do one review where they cap off raises at 30 cents and where most people receive 10 cents. That's $4 per week before taxes (if you're full time). I also didn't get paid for the first two weeks I was there. They blamed it on the post office. I also requested direct deposit on three different occasions and they even have a copy of a voided check with my bank information on it. Did it get done? Nope. The manager would also leave at random points during the day and say, "No matter who calls, and no matter when it is, tell them I just left. Even if it's three hours from now." Way to manage! I've reached character limit and there's more! Enough said."
