Pros

They allow flex time working shifts to co-workers at the corp office level. Some structured training is provided but hard to come by.

Cons

The general atmosphere of management has been CYOA. Benefits have been greatly reduced and the costs have risen. There seems very little accountability of middle management types as long as the correct rearends are kissed.

Pros

Fairly flexible schedule notwithstanding special events, As an entry level job with no experience it pays better than comparable positions with other companies-that may change with the impending increase in minimum wage in florida, fairly affordable benefits packages for full time employees

Cons

As a "sales associate" one is at the front lines of customer relations, impossibilty of explaining corporate decisions to customers that love to give people hard times in the interest of their own ego, personability decreases as one looks higher up the corporate ladder (Universal in most cases), dishonesty among co-workers

Pros

Recognized in the industry, good place to work to get experience to go to another C-Store. Many employees leave 7-Eleven to go onto much bigger and even better things. The opportunity to work with any number of consulting companies is great if that is your next career path. The company does not require a stellar performance to be promoted to the highest levels of management. If your strong suits are talking your way out of a jam or pretending you were uninvolved in a disaster, this is a great place to advance. Everyone gets the same raise each year, so performance is not a factor in the minor 2 % raises given.

Cons

Out dated principles, employees, and policies. Red tape stifles creativity and change. 7-Eleven has a high number of very old employees that are the left overs from various buyouts and ownership changes. These are employees that were not qualified enough to leave the company. They also weren't good enough to be taken with leaders as the 5 year mass exodus rotates. As the only remaining employees they hold key positions in the company that disallow the advancement of technology, process, or strategy. These detractors are slowing bringing down the entire company. Many level headed internal employees would not be surprised to see another bankruptcy in the next 5 years.
