Pros

Getting to know customers if store is in a small community. I was a Kangaroo Express employee until a buy out by circle K. Working for Kangaroo Express was awesome. But then the buy out and it became unbearable.

Cons

Expected to have complete open availability is not realistic. Use to have to work and switch between all 3 shifts in one

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
