Pros

Store management is good at every store I've worked at. I love the customer interaction. Bonuses can be nice when you get them. See Cons

Cons

Understaffed, Upper management expects management to cover shifts blindly and without notice - no regard for life outside of the job. Promised raises never come thought. We have had wage readjustments and I've lost my earned raises. I've been with Speedway for four years and still making base rate - the same rate as a new hire. Wages are not competitive. Less than 2 miles away there is a 7-11 starting at 16 (management starts at 15.5). Bonuses were great but 7-Eleven changed the metrics and formulas. Now it's impossible to hit payrolls goal because of the overtime. If we cut hours then the store isn't staffed.

Pros

Opportunity for extra hours and overtime. * Fast-paced environment that can help build multitasking and customer service skills. * Team members often worked together to keep the store running despite challenges.

Cons

* Frequent employee call-offs created staffing shortages. * Regularly required to work double shifts to cover staffing gaps. * Management expectations often felt unrealistic given available staffing levels. * Workload was heavily dependent on previous shifts completing their responsibilities. * Tasks were frequently left unfinished by other shifts, creating additional work and stress. * High levels of stress due to understaffing and inconsistent shift performance. * Work-life balance could be difficult because of unexpected extended shifts.
