Do Not Work Here!!!

Pros

401K and other benefits are solid. Annual trip for top 10% of company leaders. Company car (can't take it out of the district though). Company has a strong focus on integrity.

Cons

The leadership of Murphy USA only cares about one thing - keeping off reports. Sales do not matter. People development doesn't exist. Work/home balance is irrelevant. The company, and it's leaders, do not care about your performance, they do not care about what you're doing to motivate your team, or what you are doing to develop team members. In a recent meeting of almost one quarter of the DMs, the overwhelming conversation topic was about having to work 7 days a week, a culture of micro-management and auditing, and a focus on controls, not sales or development. You will receive emails 7 days at any hour of the day or night that require instant response. If there is an injury in a store, you are not allowed to send that person to a doctor or the hospital. You must tell them to wait, as you get in your car and drive as far away as the store is (some of mine are over 3 hours away) and personally take them to a clinic. Both yourself and the injured associate can be terminated if this is not followed. This is done so the injured associate decides to not go to the doctor. If you interview, ask about DM turnover. It is scary how many District Managers (and Division Managers) have left or have their notice in. People don't leave a company they enjoy.

Pros

District Managers flexible work schedule, ability to run a business as if it was your own.

Cons

Lately company is all about stock prices not the employees or even the customers. Higher ups try to make it seem as if they care about the employees when they are a tendency to manipulate you from their true intentions. Many higher ups have resigned due to the new direction of the company.

Pros

Large portfolio of stores in 24 states and still growing; growth funded internally, so long-term debt is very manageable; lost cost operation fits in well with selected geographic locations (WalMart parking lots and vicinity)

Cons

Too many forward-looking projects negatively impacting day-to-day operations; past culture of immediacy and aggressiveness being changed to careful (and most of the time plodding), multi-level meeting-dense approval process; almost all new hires coming from outside the company; by dragging feet on new WalMart agreement, WM has broken off talks and is now testing their own gas station concept
