Pros

There are absolutely NO Pro’s.

Cons

Circle K bought out the company I happily worked for, I watched helplessly as they ruined the entire company! They do not care about the customers, nor the employees. They turned a once striving store into a typical Circle K! Ran down, hard to get merchandise bc they control inventory at a corporate level, cut hours so thin tasks could not be accomplished in a high volume store! Very Sad! They are simply buying out as many stores as they can to become the monopoly and believe the only way their pathetic business practices will sustain is by shutting down mom and pop stores.

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.
