ALTOONA, Pa. — Convenience-store retailer Sheetz recently invested $16.8 million in store wages.

We are deeply committed to investing in our employees and creating a great working environment where they feel valued and have the resources they need to succeed,” said Travis Sheetz, president of Sheetz. “Our goal is to provide competitive wages and full-time hours to as many employees as possible, as well as providing quarterly bonuses as a way for employees to share in our success.”
Sheetz offers competitive pay and benefits packages to all employees, including medical and dental insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, college tuition reimbursement, an employee stock ownership plan, flexible schedules, opportunities for advancement, vacation time and more.
