Pros
- Interesting and active work environment. - No shortage of hours if you're willing to work them. - Fairly good pay proportional to the amount of work. - Holiday pay is fairly frequent and significant. - Engaging with the public can be unbelievably rewarding at times, especially when you become familiar with regulars. - Weekly pay can be a godsend at times. - Onboarding and training are swift, so expect to be making decent income in a relatively short time-frame. - Employee discount for gasoline, at least at the time I was working there.
Cons
- Turnover is high, leading to frequent staffing shortages and undertrained employees. - Not for the faint of heart; horror stories and sob stories alike make it through the front doors and to your counter. - As rewarding as the public can be, expect abuse abound from disgruntled or predatory customers. Physical threats, sexual harrassment, screaming matches, the whole kit and kaboodle.
