Pros

The two stores I work at are owned by the same franchise owner, who happens to be a super friendly person. I had observed as a customer how the employees and owner were interacting (friendly, positive) and it was a reason for me to apply. Very nice colleagues in my situation, flexible schedule due to owner.

Cons

I can never get to a 40 hour workweek and since the pay isn't that high, the overall paycheck isn't that great. Now with the $9.00 per hour minimum wage it sure helps.

Pros

There are zero pros to list.

Cons

Where do I begin? First, the higher ups who run this company obviously didn't obtain a business degree, let alone a degree due to the lack of leadership and support given to corporate store managers. Nowadays, smart businesses are aware that a company should operate from a flattened structure which means communication should be relayed from top to bottom and vice versa. Not 7-11. Second, 7-11 has a tremendously high turnover rate partly due to the fact that they don't include drug tests as a pre-screen for employment. Hence, the undependable work attendance and morals. It costs a company more to hire, train, & fire versus "retaining" current employees. Third, but not last (I don't have time to list the million weaknesses of this worthless company), corporate store managers get the worst end of the stick. You are expected to babysit employees, play detective for internal theft, are set-up for failure by accounting after each audit, pay is pathetic, you practically live at the store, you have to abide by 7-11 policies which override work ethics, you work 17 hour work shifts because your employees fail to report for work, there is no work-life balance, your FC doesn't support you, and the retribution you receive for goals met is to be thrown into a lower rated store. 7-11 will never make The Fortune 500!
