Pros

Well for now you get time in a half when you work over forty hours and shift manager get 45hrs a week. You get a raise every year like 25 cent. I guess something is better than nothing. You can be promoted only if you ask cause they don't really recognize anything you do. Asking as you do your job you ok. Then after you ask you have to prove your worth promoting.

Cons

Well I work for circle k for 1 1/2 yrs. They expect you to do everything. Inside and out. No reason to hire anyone els if we have people we are already paying. I painted the window seal for circle. That wasn't in the job description. Customer clogs a toliet your job to unclog it. Now they sent out this lovely letter talking about how they are going to make the business better by changing shift manager to assistant manager. Giving us less hours and no employee is to het over time anymore. Hiring mor e CSA's who they pay less that work 24hrs or more to cover the hours they are taking away from us. Nice I barely make enough to cover the bills now.

Pros

Surprisingly Great Access to Benefits. I opened up an HSA and had access to a company sponsored HDHP insurance plan, so it's a legit savings account. Well, they throw the food out at the end of the day, so if you buy anything while you're working there then you're making a mistake. Great work environment, like they can actually sell chocolate bars inside! -- What a bar.

Cons

Well, you can only stay there for so long. I found if you don't try out the deals then your particularly hurtful to customers, the caviot is the food deals are a waste of time. They'll work you if you try the stuff, so just don't try anything.
