Pros
Extremely, good learning experience on how to run and operate a store with about 5-10 employees. Career advancement is huge, great benefits especially the 401k match, and the cash balance pension plan Speedway saves 11% of your income for you each year which is outstanding. Very good learning position for recent college grads.
Cons
I am not going to lie to you in Phase 1 be prepared to work long hours easily 11-12 per day. When you first take over a store times may be rough because you are figuring out your leadership style. Phase 1 sucks it really is a weaning out phase in the program. But in this phase, you learn the entire retail side of the business which will help you once you become a DM. My biggest complaint is i feel Speedway doesn't think enough about the future and they think more about the operational needs each and everyday.
