Pros

Working for corporate, I was given paid leave when I had two separate medical issues within 1 year of working there. Simple, easy to understand job. Positive work environment depending on who your manager is. Able to move up and gain promotions and raises with higher training. Good benefits available, though I didn't use them. Fair pay for a minimum-wage kind of job. The higher-ups seem to care about their employees. One of the head honchos from Texas actually came and visited our store in Washington. My request for above min. wage was respected since I had a lot of work experience and was definitely overqualified for the job.

Cons

I had 4 different managers in within 2 months of working there. There were periods of working there where things were very confusing because of moving around management, and even they had no clue if they would still be your manager the next day, but you just show up and do your job. High turnover rate of fellow employees. Working in corporate, I talked to a lot of non-corporate employees who were not treated fairly and who had very unfair managers of franchised stores.

Pros

7-eleven is okay when you need somewhere to work while ur in school or something... not a career, too dangerous. Doing it for a time so you get a better job though is okay. You move up real fast, well at least i did

Cons

Its too dangerous. Anything can happen at anytime. Plus there is too much orders to do, etc...

Pros

Great training. You will learn and understand how to run a profitable business. Be able to see up to the moment information in any category, helping you make good business decisions.

Cons

They try to empower you using the retailer initiative business motto. Basically it’s analyzing data to get what your customers want. Then they have the Field consultants and inspectors check a list of items you must have regardless if it sells at your store. This defeats the purpose. There are many constant changes, one day the company wants to focus on sandwiches, the next bakery items and so forth.
