Circle K reviews

Erractic work schedules that leave you exhausted, example work 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on friday and work 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday then work 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Monday. Lonnnngggg Shifts 9 - 10 hours with no breaks of any kind not even to use the bathroom. Raises are a pathetic 5 cents a year and do not go up even if min. wage does. You are essentially a maid, psychiatrist, and fast food worker all in one. You are supposed to clean all the machines, fill all the cups, etc., stock coolers, put new roller grill, pizzas, and popcorn once an hour, as well as waiting on customers without making a single customer wait. You are supposed to let people scream, curse, and throw things at you without any emotion whatsoever. When you are robbed at gunpoint you are told you have to stay until the end of your shift and are yelled at for having more money (or any money) in your register, you are not offered any couseling, you are just expected to go on as usual. The management that constantly belittles you and attacks you and tells you you aren't doing enough. And if you have to take off a day due to being sick be prepared to be yelled at some more and then put on a schedule without a day off for 2-3 weeks.

Life work balance is always a challenge with retail. Consistant turnover can present road blocks to the balance any one would want to have. A lack of coherent communication from a central person vested with the future of the company dilutes effective productivity from the most capable employees
