Pros

Free Slurpees, Coffee, Expired Sandwiches

Cons

I have TONS of Cons here. I currently still work for 7-Eleven, but I am about to quit soon. I can't take it anymore. I have worked here for two years ( I am a college student). Here are just some of the cons from my experience working at 7-Eleven. -Pay is LOW. Started off at minimum wage. Only have been given a raise ONE time, $.50 cents, in two years. I asked for a raise, was not given one. -They OVER work you. You feel like you are some type of robot working here. You work alone 99% of the time. There are no overlaps. That means you must change the trash, maintain coffee, maintain the grill, change the bibs, stock cups/lids, do the cooler, do orders, all WHILE TAKING CARE of customers. I come home to a hurting body everyday, -It's CONSTANTLY busy. This pretty much kills my back, constantly ringing up people. -There is no room to move up anywhere. I feel like I am stranded as a sales associate. Corporate came to our store for two weeks to clean, and they witnessed told me and my boss how great and friendly of a worker I am. Nothing happened from there. It's been six months. Also- when someone spills a slurpee or coffee, your screwed. Your all alone to clean it up, all between customers. If you want to be over worked and underpaid, this job is for you.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
