Cons

As a manager, once you get a store in good working order they move you to another dirt hole and you have to start from square one. This happened to me every 4 to 6 months. You have to work every day and be on call 24 hours a day. I was LITERALLY so sick I was throwing up one day and the district manager told me he "didn't work for me" and "couldn't help find someone to do MY job!" Circle K is considered a "food service" job due to the roller grill and coffee and it is ILLEGAL to have someone with a stomach virus around food for 48 hours...I worked 18 hours that day and 16 the next. And then with his amazing leadership skills he had the nerve to give me a hard time because the gas pumps had dust on top of them!! I hope this company sets itself on fire and burns to the ground.
