Pros

benefits, and management willing to give you the time off when you ask for a specific date.

Cons

Management lack of leadership and people skills. Very busy during shift 1, don't have time to take a break. Forget lunch! No break area for employees you have to either go in the small back room which is a bad idea because your break can be easily interrupted or go outside the store and just stand in the parking lot. Not allowed to go in your Car to take a break. Too many rules imposed by the management, rules that i have never seen written coming from 7-eleven policies.

Pros

Praise is given when deserved. Excellent place for advancement, but expect to put in long hours as needed. Average about 55 on a typical week. As with every employer, there is room for improvement within the senior leadership, but there are some great folks already in place.

Cons

Work life balance can be challenging, but it is your responsibility to manage. Some managers are more understanding than others when it comes to taking necessary time off (sick kids, etc).

Pros

Flexible schedule and minimal stress if you're a chosen favorite of a market or zone manager, at least on the west coast. I didn't need my degree to do this job, but I was one of the fortunate few and finally sailed on.

Cons

Merchandising goals change by the day, BT was a bust, lack of clear direction is a known, too many conflicting financial reports (that never match) and favorites of a market manager or the zone manager stay on board even though their performance is average (at best) while valuable FC's are removed.
