Pros

They offer benefits such as medical and dental. They offer trips for upper management and corporate positions. After working there, you will be able to handle any stress with any other company.

Cons

Required to work 50 hours a week but will often work 60-80 hours per week. Corporate seems to have no idea of the things that go on at the store level. Anything that goes wrong will be your responsibility to fix, from toilets, to pump pipes, to changing fuel filters, to changing the electrical hardware inside the pumps. There will not be enough time in a day to complete all the numerous tasks that are required, take customers, and take care of all the issues that arise throughout the day. After increasing sales and customer ratings higher than the company average, I was fired for an irresponsible employee's mistake that occurred while I was on vacation. After taking up for that new employee, I was fired without hesitation. They fired a manager that was with the company for many years because they couldn't find a shortage for the month, who had just bought his first house for his wife and 3 kids. About a month later, they found the shortage which was an error on corporate's end but also made no efforts to contact or rehire that manager.

Pros

Fun coworkers, great customers. Regular customers who appreciate you and know it’s your job to ask for ID/upsell items. At my store, the manager will work around any day you need off so that is a big plus!

Cons

Some customers can be real PITAs and all around jerks. Sometimes it feels like we don’t get paid enough for what we do.

Pros

Good benefits. Fridays are half-days.

Cons

Terrible work culture straight out of the 90s that has never evolved. Low pay unless you're at the top. Sexism, various -phobias, pay discrimination, 'pizza days', the works. Lack of overtime is grounds for firing. Recently laid off 100 HO employees after acquiring a failing convenience store chain a dozen states away that ended up wasting a ton of money. Management that throws you under the bus. If you work really hard, you might get promoted after several years at your current level. Or you might not. Leaning hard into AI recently, which might not be a con for you, but is for everyone at MUSA currently using it.
