Pros

When I first started with the company in the early 2000s, QT was a company that always considered the impact of the corporate decisions on the store employee. The company is still making large profits, which helps the "profit sharing bonus checks" we receive. The PR employees are very good at their jobs, which has firmly established a reputation with the community of being a "great" company to work for. This does garner respect from the average customer and increases costumer loyalty.

Cons

The current store set-up has placed unreasonable expectations on the store employees. Employees receive NO breaks, work long shifts, harsh upper management techniques, a sexist work environment, evaluations designed to promote those employees that have found favor (warranted and unwarranted) with the supervisor that rarely visits the store, (n fact, most promotions are based on kinship/friendship rather than merit), benefits have been greatly reduced in the last few years (the "insurance" costs are high, the company has an inconvenient in in-house clinic where you are required to see the company doctor, pick up prescriptions and specialty doctors are extremely limited), and unfortunately after so many years on the job, it is very much a company that promotes those employees willing to negotiate their character.

Pros

“ good “ benefits … bonus , and profit.

Cons

Yall please don’t go working there. You don’t have any breaks weather you full time, part time, manager , whatever. You can’t eat, drink, sit down or anything your whole shift. If you have tattoos you will overheat because of it already being hot outside and in the store. The pay doesn’t match to the amount of work you have to do. You can’t really depend on anyone because there’s nobody on the shifts to depend on. The shifts aren’t rotating so if you pick that shift you can’t change it or rotate it. Requesting days off aren’t a guarantee 9/10 you won’t get it. This is a second version of chic fil a. Smh. Turnover is HIGH. Quick to get in , and when you’re in you’ll see why. & they don’t give you a discount if you work there , you want something out the store you gotta ring it up and pay for it out your own money.
