Change Middle Management or you are Doomed. Good talent should avoid 7-Eleven if they want to grow or advance.

Pros

If you get a good direct report, this can be a good company to work for.

Cons

Most middle management is poor and the 'good old boys' network is strong. So you end up with leaders that promote on who been there the longest and kisses the butt the best, not who has talent or skills. The middle management is nothing more than a bunch of re-treads that they move from one position to another to keep from having to fire them for poor performance. They only way to advance is to goto West Point, then you get a golden ticket to the top, even if you have no experience, leadership or people skills. This is who you will be working for, a stuffed shirt who think he know everything because he drove a tank with little gold bar on his shirt in the desert, that talks down to you all day and constantly reminds you that you did not go to West Point and will not be as good as him. Great place to get experience, but do not count on it for a career, because they reserve those for flunkies and West Point Grads.

Pros

Fun work environment for HR, Marketing, R&D, and Executive Teams. Great Marketing and Executive Teams/Admins to work for!

Cons

Upper Management changes every year, if not more often. Promotes Inexperience Politically and Ignores Real Experience. Expects quality, but doesn't want to do what it takes to achieve it.

Pros

Great name to have on your resume. You can use it to your advantage once you can’t tolerate the company’s toxic culture any longer. My experience at 7-Eleven was proof of the enduring nature of the human spirit: that an individual can work in a hateful, racist, homophobic, misogynist environment for almost a decade before reaching their breaking point. The good news is that people who have been mistreated for so long after spending years driving results and innovation at 7-Eleven are getting wise to the fact that they can do better elsewhere and make far better money.

Cons

The CEO needs to retire. He sets the tone and it’s very toxic. I’m all for supporting veterans, but when the team is constantly reminded that the CEO went to West Point you can just see the collective eyeball roll of the rank and file in the audience. The buyout of Speedway was a marriage made in hell… many of the folks from Speedway acted like their company bought 7-Eleven and not the other way around. Meanwhile, 7-Eleven continues to hedge its bets on future success by hiring castoffs from JCPenney’s HQ and the former Pier 1 HQ… not sure why 7-Eleven thinks these are the talented brain trust who will continue to propel 7-Eleven forward since they weren’t able to save the companies they came from. The company’s lack of diversity is frightening, but is to be expected when the company is run by a staunch conservative Republican. What once was a “good ‘ol boys” club is now an awful workday sorority of basic, middle-aged, suburban white women… who wants to join Kappa Kappa K@ren?!
