Sheetz goes on the hunt for full-timers.
Starting on May 3, Sheetz Inc. plans to hire 3,400 employees across the company. The purpose of the hiring spree is to boost the number of full-time positions and total employees overall. Last year, when Sheetz invested $15 million in wage raises, the Altoona, Pa.-based convenience-store chain heard from some employees that wages were only half of the equation and that they needed more hours, Stephanie Doliveira, the retailer’s vice president of human resources, told CSP Daily News.
The retailer will be offering open interviews at all of its 550 locations in six states. Sheetz plans to spend the interviews telling recruits about the company culture that helped rank them one of Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For. “Our employees are our most valuable asset, and we're deeply committed to investing in our people by providing competitive wages, a wide range of benefits and most importantly, a clear path to growth with the support network to achieve it," Doliveira said.
