Pros

some of the sales associates

Cons

Our manager has NO CLUE how to run his store. He does not even know the basics. He does not even know how to run a register. He sits in the office all day pretending he is doing something and demeans his associates. Expects his minimum wage employees to do his work because he does not know how to do it himself and is unwilling to learn or ask.

Pros

My hardworking fellow franchisees and their families.

Cons

Since Joe Depinto has taken over 7-Eleven, field management turnover has been close to 70%. 7-Eleven franchisees net income is down close to 20% since he has taken over. Most franchisees with gas have lost over $30,000 a year due to Depinto's policy change. In February of 2011, Market 2360 had close to 40% of its franchisees needing to pay SEI just to keep their stores. In Las Vegas, NV, over 100 of the 160 franchisees located there had to pay SEI so they could keep their stores. This company was better run when Jim Keyes was CEO.

Pros

Store level employees that are hungry for leadership. POS system that is second to none in the c-store industry. Informative Operational Management Training.

Cons

Extremely poor leadership in some markets. Management that thrives on fear and threats to motivate employees. Employees afraid to speak out in fear of retribution. Company defines insanity by doing things the same way expecting a different result. "No" work life balance. Micro management gone wild. Change resistant management - too many lifers. Servant Leadership Initiative a joke. Outdated and run down stores. Franchise agreement leaves franchisees with nothing but massive debt and a story.
