Pros

Circle K helped me to grow from a minimum wage job to a career in management. They promote from within the company, making it possible for someone with no college education, like me, to be successful.

Cons

Circle K does not treat their lower level employees, like cashiers, very well. They have high performance expectations for low pay. And their benefit package is terrible for store employees.

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
