Pros

It is easy to work at 7-eleven as a clerk. You have to do some cleaning, and restocking, but other than that, it is pretty easy. The pay is okay, but isn't great. It's usually about minimum wage, but may be more. The pay is low, but you aren't really doing a lot of work, so it is okay. Most 7 Eleven's are open 24 hours, so if you want to work night shift, that is a good option. The shifts are usually 7 am to 3 pm and then 3 pm to 11 pm and then 11 pm to 7 am. I think that the 3 pm to 11 pm is a good shift.

Cons

It can be very boring, and is a little dangerous. There are no benefits, like health insurance or dental or eye care. Also, no paid days off. Also, if they don't like you, they can fire you and quickly have someone to replace you. Another downside, is that some people look down on convenience store clerks, because it requires almost no education and does not pay very well. This can be frustrating, if you're not getting any respect from your friends and family. Also, cleaning can be disgusting sometimes. You get gloves though. Overall, it is not a bad job though.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Low pay, bad benefits, and mostly working by yourself unless you're first shift, and then only on weekdays.
