Heard it's a marathon out there.

But instead of petroleum, it's meth.

They'll give it to you, but you have to run 26 miles 385 yards to pick it up

Great place to work and company to work for. Been there for 22 years. Good luck to you.

garyville location.


We’ve never had an issue with product coming from there and we buy in bulk.

No complaints about the Ops team either. Great southern people for the most part who stick to their word.

Crappy location however.

They're a client of mine and from what I can tell, most people I deal with like working out there.

Marathon doesn't test for weed anymore I heard, if you're not in a DOT position. Heard those plant baws are free to hit the penjamin and gummies after work no problem.

There's a cashier at my local Marathon that's kind of hot. I think she may be a bit psycho too.

Every other hot cashier who's a little on the skanky side these day is named Kayla. Her name might be Kayla.

I mostly interact with corporate office management. Easy to work with for sure it's like I'm back in the 1980's with everything above board.

FWIW, since Marathon sells feedstock for the petrochemical industry, their assessment is prolonged downturn in chemical manufacturing. A number of plant managers of chemical plants concur. It hits here in the 4th quarter of this year. Orders for those products were taken 2nd quarter and earlier this year.

Don't know much about their downstream culture and such.

Marathon's upstream business was good to work with, and it really sucks Conoco bought them, because they like to be a pain in the arse on a regular basis.
