Experiences at Zollicker Oil

I learned more than I ever though I'd know about the gasoline, diesel, oil, and propane business. I would feel confident going to somebody's house and installing a propane system or a farm fuel system. I also learned how to deal with financial systems and run a direct marketing campaign.

I deeply miss the people at Zollicker's and miss having the oppotunity to get outside to work. Even if you were in the office that day, you could usually open the doors and let a gentle breeze blow through.

A major undertaking was to revise the inventory system for a company-owned gas station.

Ninety percent of the time, you could wear a nice shirt and jeans to work; if you were working outside that day you could even sport a t-shirt. Tennis shoes were completely acceptable.

The three best things about working at Zollicker's were getting to work with great people, getting to go outside and perform "hands-on" tasks, and having a wide variety of responsibilities.
