What's in It for You

Professional development
You will expand your skills and experience in operations (such as learning the fuel side of the operations) as well as in leadership, while also demonstrating your capacity for taking on additional responsibilities. We already mentioned the possibility of pursuing an Area Manager role, and there are many other potential career paths in the company. We promote from within whenever possible.

Employee value proposition
Working at Par Pacific is different. Because Par is a smaller energy company, employees have the opportunity to make a great impact on the business and to influence decisions. People truly have amazing careers at Par because they are exposed to many areas of the company and are connected to many of the industry experts.

Unique culture
There is nothing ordinary about Par Pacific, and there's certainly nothing ordinary about Par Pacific people. If you're at Par, you're a driven, creative-thinking, hardworking professional that loves to win. If that describes you, you'll fit right in!

Great places to live and work
Because Par Pacific is located in some of the most beautiful places throughout the country, our employees get to make these places their home and enrich their lives. We're proud of our unique culture and family-friendly environment.

Excellent compensation
In addition to a competitive salary and annualized performance bonus (paid out quarterly), we offer comprehensive benefits that include medical and dental insurance; life and AD&D insurance; a 401(k) plan with generous company match; employee assistance programs; vacation days; and more.

Keys to Success

If you're coming from a large retail environment, like a big box store, it may take some adjusting to get used to the smaller scale of your store. Leadership, delegation, coaching and mentoring are all very important. At the same time, you will need to work right alongside your team, from helping customers at the pump to restocking coolers. Our most successful Store Managers are good at striking the right balance between leadership and tasks.

As you might expect, we have SOPs and guidelines, and during each shift you'll have a checklist of responsibilities to complete. To excel in the role, however, you'll also bring the initiative and sound judgment to make decisions throughout the day. Solid business savvy and common sense will help you here. Support is just a phone call away if you need it, but you should take pride in solving problems and making decisions independently.

In addition, in order to be an outstanding Store Manager, you will:
  • Model responsibility and ownership for your team, such as arriving on time and being proactive about keeping the store clean inside and out.
  • Bring strong multitasking skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
  • Promote a positive work environment so that employees look forward to coming in for every shift.
  • Demonstrate sensitivity to cultural diversity.
  • Bring a collaborative approach, but also be willing to be assertive when necessary.
  • Maintain a calm, solution-oriented manner when dealing with issues.
