TL;DR

php artisan queue:work = run one queued job and stop

php artisan queue:listen = run all queued jobs and listen for more until stopped

Further detail:

How are you running the commands? Are you just opening a terminal and running it or do you have a cron job to run at intervals?

If you're just opening a terminal and running php artisan queue:work will complete one task on the queue then stop, whereas if you run php artisan queue:listen it will process all the jobs in the queue and continue to listen for any further jobs until it is stopped.

Read further in the docs regarding queue:work:

Starting The Queue Listener

Laravel includes an Artisan command that will run new jobs as they are pushed onto the queue. You may run the listener using the queue:listen command:

php artisan queue:listen

Processing The First Job On The Queue

To process only the first job on the queue, you may use the queue:work command:

php artisan queue:work

What you should be doing?

I am guessing what you ideally want to do on your server is set up a cron job to run continuously at intervals and have it run queue:work. Better yet, acquaint yourself with the docs and make a decision after that.
