Pros

Very few pros. Good salary and bonus potential. I enjoy working with my fellow crew and managers. Not much more to add to this section.

Cons

Upper management doesn't hold true to there word. There is no longer a sense of family. Long hours with no help from upper management if you're short handed. No work-life balance.

Pros

Hardly any Pros. They have stopped hiring full time unless the individual store is in desperate need of a full time employee. Be prepared to work sporadic hours to make up for your co workers that do not show up for work. Fair and hard working store managers are also rare. Work environment varies wildly from store to store. Some stores allow free coffee/fountain for employees, some do not. One pro, but also a con is that it is very difficult to get fired from here. Good for the terrible employees. Bad for the hard working ones. Circle K is always hiring. If you're desperate for a job then please apply!

Cons

Upper management is useless. They will constantly beg employees to cover other stores which would be fine if other stores weren't constantly needing help. Do not be afraid to stick up for yourself if you are being taking advantage of. Pay is also low. 7.75/hr but can be brought up to 8/hr if you're persistent.
