Pros

If you enjoy a fast pace work environment and are a people person then 7-11 is good for you. The work is not hard to do, you just have to know how to manage your time and work well with your co-workers.

Cons

The stores are mostly all franchised, so the owner can pay whatever they want without giving any raises, vacation pay, holiday pay or personal days. They have a very poor training system. Most employees get thrown on the register the very first day they work without completing the computer training. You get written up over petty things. Often times you work alone and you are still required to get everything finished before you leave. They have a very high turn over rate. Most employees are young and don't care too much about their job so they are difficult to work with to accomplish everything required. When someone calls out of work, management expects you to drop everything and come to work immediately, if not it's "frowned on"

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.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
