Pros

Weekly pay and decent benefits.My staff is awesome. They work long hours alone but stand up to the task and try to complete all their assignments.

Cons

Company runs their stores with a culture of threats and intimidation towards their managers. The lack of respect is palpable. Terrible communication between all levels of management. As a manager you will be told you need to work 50 hours/week but, in reality, if you want to complete everything you are required to complete, you will need to work much much more. Do not expect any positive feedback for a job well done, you will not get any. You will have to be happy with no negativity. I know I sound like a disgruntled employee but I REALLY want to let any prospective managers know that this is the worst company for which I have ever had the displeasure to work. (Over 20 years with the previous owners) I was not directly hired by them but our stores were purchased by the company and i was promised a job. I should have taken unemployment. I will be leaving the company soon as I have found a position elsewhere. If you have to work for Circle K because it is the only paycheck you have coming in, you have my utmost sympathy.
