You might see the name "Terrible's" and think, "Okay, gas station, maybe a convenience store." And you wouldn't be wrong, but that's just scratching the surface of what this Las Vegas-based company is all about. Since 1959, they've been cultivating a "#deliberatelydifferent experience" across the American Southwest, and it's clear they mean it.
What strikes me when I look at Terrible's is their deep-seated focus on people. It's not just about selling gas or a quick bite; it's about the team members, the customers, and the community. As a family-owned business for over 65 years, that sense of connection seems to be woven into their DNA. They're involved in so much more than just fuel retail – think convenience stores, car washes, restaurants, taverns, and even casinos. It’s a pretty diverse portfolio, all stemming from that initial vision.
It's refreshing to see a company that openly talks about being "obsessively focused" on their people. In their own words, they're "fiercely dedicated to making a positive impact on individuals both inside and outside our company who make up the Terrible's family." That's a powerful statement, and it resonates, especially when you see how they highlight new hires. Take Liezel Ortega, for instance, welcomed to the finance and accounting team. They didn't just announce her arrival; they shared her background, her education from the Philippines, her journey to Las Vegas, and even her hobbies like playing tennis and perfecting bibingka recipes. It feels less like a corporate announcement and more like a friend introducing a new member of the team.
Similarly, Joey Palmer's arrival in the marketing department was celebrated with details about his decade of experience, his love for his golden retrievers, and his upcoming wedding. These aren't just random facts; they paint a picture of a real person, someone with a life outside of work, and that's what makes a company feel human.
And it's not just about welcoming new faces. Their posts often feature messages of gratitude, like the recent thank you to all veterans. It shows a company that's aware of its place in the wider community and takes the time to acknowledge important contributions.
When they're hiring, they emphasize that "strong roots and a family feel." They're looking for dependable, detail-oriented individuals who value hard work, integrity, and long-term stability. It’s clear they’re not just filling positions; they’re looking for people who want to be part of something bigger, something that feels like home. Whether it's a category manager role in Las Vegas or CDL A fuel drivers in Phoenix and Salt Lake City, the message is consistent: come grow with us, feel valued, and make an impact.
So, next time you see a Terrible's, remember it's more than just a pit stop. It's a company with a rich history, a diverse range of services, and, most importantly, a genuine commitment to the people who make it all happen.
