BP Reviews

Cons

Fixed shift instead of rotational

Cons

Minimal Growth with less opportunities to move roles.

Cons

Flat organisational structure, slow-moving at times

Cons

Only a 10% discount on products for all team members including managers, that must be purchased on shift. This does not include petrol but rather in store purchases. Breaks are 20 minutes and are paid only under the condition you come back off your break if the store is busy- hardly a proper “break” and time to rest. Also worked Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve+Day for a measly time and a half for each shift, there was no option not to work those and missed out on a day with my family for minimal compensation whilst head office employees were getting Christmas bonuses and time with their loved ones. It is also always THE busiest time of the year- no breaks, no time for even a drink of water. Also constantly being “encouraged” to ask every customer for 8cpl, velocity and feedback in a single transaction. Upselling to the point of annoying customers. There were no rewards for meeting or exceeding upselling targets, just negative consequences by having “training meetings” when not reaching goals- ignoring some outlier factors such as rising fuel prices contributing to inability to upsell.

Cons

It was like pulling teeth to be able to have a day off even when sick or having family commitments.

Cons

Company Claims to care about safety as number one priority but all they care about is sales and making money. Safety issues are ignored if it saves money
