Dear Talent: 7-Eleven is only a pit stop to your final destination
Pros
Salary and Bonuses....that is about it.....
Cons
Culture is horrible. Despite many efforts to become more inclusive, diverse, and multi-cultural, the company remains a militaristic, male dominated lead company which in turn leaves people in the minority of gender and race wanting more. Efforts in diversity, and inclusion often come off fake and lacks authenticity. Exceptionally talented people constantly leave for bigger, better opportunities. Driving bottom line results is a must, and they broadcast that every 2 weeks on nationally held conferences. Even if the company is meeting its obligations to SEJ (7-Eleven Japan), company self imposes no spending call to actions earlier each year. This means they will lay off, cut, trim down departments and eliminate resources to do your job effectively. Stores are run down, dirty, lack updating, and products to compete, so 7-Eleven grows through M&A activity. Someone has to ultimately pay for that, unfortunately it always seems to be at the cost of human capital. Franchisee relationship has been fractured for decades.
