ALTOONA, Pa.—Today, Sheetz will hire more than 2,800 employees company wide. Recently named one of People’s 50 Companies That Care, Sheetz will hold its hiring day for full-time and part-time positions on March 31 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at all of its 619 store locations.

During hiring day, prospective employees can apply for employment in person as well as learn about Sheetz’s commitment to offering employees sustainable careers built on an inspiring culture, community engagement and disrupting the convenience category.

Additionally, all attendees are required to follow Sheetz’s COVID-19 protocols to ensure the health and wellness of Sheetz’s employees, customers and prospective employees. Masks and social distancing will be required, and prospective employees will be checked in at the front register and asked to wait in their car until it is time for their interview.

Hiring has taken a different approach for many c-stores due to COVID-19. During the NACS HR Forum, GPM Investments discussed how it has taken to hiring employees virtually. While there was initial hesitancy within the company, it’s now become the preferred hiring technique.

Sheetz’ latest hiring drive comes on the heels of Sheetz’s investment of $28.5 million in store employee wages and October’s hiring of over 3,000 new employees. Sheetz also recently announced an updated parental leave policy that includes 12 weeks of fully paid time off for new mothers and two weeks of fully paid time off for partners.
