      I worked at BP full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Flexible work arrangements

      Generous annual bonus

      Cons

      Reactive leadership increasingly focusing on short term gain at the expense of proactive sustainable long term decisions

      Reduction in employee benefits

      Annual restructures driving a horrible work environment

      Poor culture of driving people into the ground and then rewarding them with retrenchment.

      Leadership team is scattered and lacking the emotional intelligence to get the best out of people

      Advice to Management

      Stop the infighting and redirect the energy on beating the competition and future proofing the company. Don’t underestimate the impact that ongoing restructures is having on the people remaining with the organisation.

      I have been working at BP part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Friendly manager
      Friendly coworkers
      Decent money - for both permanent (paid annual leave, super, sick leave etc) and casuals (reasonably good ordinary hour rates and weekend rates)

      Cons

      It’s a thorough role and duties so if the job is done in terms of store responsibilities and customer service - there really is no issue

      Advice to Management

      Stay loyal to your permanent staff and perhaps give a bit more incentives like a gift card for being a good employee once in a while
