Pros

Competitive wages. Decent support for your projects. Stress level drops during the holidays allowing for more individual attention to your responsibilities.

Cons

The company is full of silos. Politics are a roadblock often. Conflicts with franchisees and corporate office are common. Need to play diplomat to keep the peace. Much cronyism between powerful multi store owners and market managers. Single store owners get leftovers if there are any. Dallas HQ thinks they know the inner dealings of various divisions but there is more they don't know than they realize.

Once you know how to implement on store level and have understanding of Retailer Iniative.You can get another opportunity better salary in no time with another retailer. If you have military background you can go far with company. Will have flexibility with schedule to maintain quality of life. Great learning environment. Good people to work with it.

Cons

No growth in local area have to relocate to Dallas. Meetings are a waste of time. Company focus constantly changing Operations is backbone of company but those that run the company have no experience in operations so there is a disconnect with the field. Lack of diversity in leaderhip. Elimination of 401k matching Reduced bonus structure

Pros

A potential opportunity to serve an individual or newly graduated college student, an introduction "corporate america" and the convenience store and/or retail industry.

Cons

- Poor companywide communication, internally and externally, for operational efficiencies and financial growth. - Uppper management's choice to toleratingabusive and hostile internal managment behaviors, preventing long term employee growth and a team environment. - Effective management courses and/or "retreats" not offered to balance internal technical skill sets and personal skill sets for a valued professional atmosphere and work life balance. - Upper management and HR's choice to ignoring and/or dismissing observed questionable management behavior such as lack of effective leadership. - Failure to acknowledging employee "wins", rather offering consistent critism due to personal favoritism.
