Murphy USA job reviews

Best thing
Being able to talk to the customers when the line isn’t out both doors but it stays busy.
Worst thing
Having to work by myself when I have asked for someone to be there, I’m not able to have the hours that I would like to work. If I ask to work certain hours I get denied with the hours I asked for and I went from morning shifts to night shifts which don’t work for me.

Best thing
The customers are always sweet and kind.
Worst thing
Getting made to find coverage for a shift when the manager is supposed to. Not getting enough hours for a week is struggling, and I don’t like the fact that the cigarette shelves are too tall for me to reach the top shelf and we’re not allowed to have any step stools or small ladders due to liability.
