Good atmosphere and all staff get along. Can get very busy at times especially during peak hours. Management are all nice and help you with any problems. Lots of overtime available. Only con is you can’t leave site on your breaks.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Long hours
Enjoyed it for the most part but no support over Christmas period from management.Long shifts so if you like a job with no social life this would be the one for you.
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Management
Extremely rewarding place to work, a company that values every individual and rewards appropriately. Due to the scale of the business there are plenty of opportunities to learn new things and move into different roles. Inclusive environment that prides itself on a safety culture.

Do these reviews help you learn more about working at bp?
I enjoyed working at BP. Money was very good and the time off was excellent. Had a really good standard of living. Was dangerous but financial incentives were great.
Pros
Well paid. Lots of holidays
Cons
Long hours. Shift work. Work Xmas and New year etc
I have worked for bp for many years and I can only say what a joy it is to work for a company that listen! Management team at bp has changed over the years and now its stable and one that cares about the whole team. Very fun place to work and I can only say that I have witnessed management deal promptly with issues that arise quickly to avoid any escalation and further issues within the team.
Pros
50% staff lunch
Cons
Open on Christmas day
Accurately processing, matching and posting of intercompany transactions. Deal with group of Intercompany vendor accounts ensure financial results are produced to deadlines.
Pros
Flexible hours
Cons
Long hours
BP claim to pride themselves as a company that cares for its people, when actually their stores are full of toxic management who shun any outsider/new person and give next to no support to those who need it. They bullied staff members into believing that their approach to social distancing was adequate when it wasn't, and if anyone said that they didn't feel comfortable with working in a busy store with no room for social distancing they were dismissed immediately as a 'wimp'. If you have any form of depression or anxiety then don't feel like you can go to their managers or HR department as according to them depression isn't a disability and they will not even have a conversation with you to see how they can help, they will just say to you that the company spends lots of money on a free membership for the Calm app for you to use.
Pros
Free coffee on shift
Cons
Terrible work hours, bullying in stores, discriminatory approach to mental illnesses.
The job is stressful fast-paced constantly having to multitask can't get jobs to finish before starting another one not many team players if you're not a manager's favourite be prepared to get sworn at shouted at humiliated in front of staff and customers get stuck on tills for 7 and 1/2 hours unless your favourite then you get to do jobs no communication be prepared to work every weekend both days if you're not a favourite you can ask not to work a certain day but I'll make sure that you do not interested you have any health issues is supposed to serve customers do jobs cleaning the toilet make coffee and you get a nice thanks at the end of it if you got any sense I'm somewhere else to work
Pros
Can't think of any
Cons
Rude management need training in manners
Got a lot of superstar staff and their work goes unnoticed with their effort input and consideration other staff members.
Managers occasionally undervalue staff opinion on a matters.
And could be more open to all staff reviews on the topics rather than just at owe.
Pros
A family like.friendly environment. Routine on shift.
Cons
Communication.consideration. criticism with no construction
I worked as night shift for 3 years and 6 months (11pm to 7am) with some days mixed in. during the night shift you are with one other member of staff and are given a lot of autonomy with no managers being there at night.
The hardest part of the job is in the morning sometimes (5 - 7am) when customers come in for a coffee even though there are like 5 - 7 people already waiting for there coffee to be made. while i'm making these the queue is leading out the store.
But this was my first job and I think this was a great place to work.
Pros
Free car washes, if you work nights you get your pick of the food waste to eat for lunch.
Cons
Stupid customers.
Taken on as duty manager, promoted to deputy manager the day my 3 months training finished (they sacked the DM the same day). Store manager left after a few months and I was left to run a very busy store, and set up a new one (recruiting all staff and overseeing training), with little or no support....and on deputy managers salary.
Days were long and hard, but enjoyable.
Pros
Colleagues, I had a brilliant team
Cons
Senior management, lack of support, poor pay for what was expected
