Pros

QT pays really well, despite what other people may say. They offer more bonuses than you can realistically wrap your head around. Profit bonus, customer service bonus, attendance bonus (yes, they actually give you a bonus for showing up to work). Xmas bonus, and lower management gets 500 dollars every six months. Also, weekly paychecks and an annual drawing for an all expense paid company chartered trip to Hawaii for 5 days.

Cons

Oh boy, here we go. The pay is so good, that even though you'll come to hate every day you come in to work, you won't be able to find a new entry level job without a massive pay cut. The insurance used to be unbelievably wonderful, and now it's a total joke. (large deductible auto drafted from paycheck before insurance starts paying for anything) Staffing; QT used to have some of the strictest hiring standards in the industry, and now they'll hire just about anyone with a pulse, willing to run non stop for ten hours a shift. Also, don't expect your shift to be even remotely sufficiently staffed to complete the tasks given to you. Most days you'll be short handed but still held responsible for the same amount of work. Training; Management training is sub par compared to what it used to be, seems like even after 3 weeks, assistant managers still have no idea what they are doing. Clerk training is a complete joke, you get 4 days to learn roughly eighty tasks, and you'll only be trained on how to do forty or so of them. Full time; The schedule is awful, you will work 46 hours a week over 5 days, and your days off are either split or in the middle of the week. Your shifts are on average 9-10 hours and you do not get breaks. You'll spend the entirety of your shift on your feet, either running around at light speed trying to keep up or standing at a register handling customers. There are no chairs anywhere in the building. Promotions are NOT merit based, the corporate culture here is very political, and it's about who you know, not how hard you work.

Pros

Great Work Environment. Greater people. Talking to people there, including management, and corporate, always felt great. They take care of their employees. Great job if you are just starting out, need a day job, can land a corporate position, or are willing to work your way up the ladder.

Cons

I never thought I could hate a program until I tried downloading Zipline. it just doesn't work on your phone, Spending 15 minutes trying to log into Zipline on the computers on-site every day was annoying and time-consuming. The QuikTrip app is also very slow, which is also a common customer complaint.
