Pros

QT pays really well, despite what other people may say. They offer more bonuses than you can realistically wrap your head around. Profit bonus, customer service bonus, attendance bonus (yes, they actually give you a bonus for showing up to work). Xmas bonus, and lower management gets 500 dollars every six months. Also, weekly paychecks and an annual drawing for an all expense paid company chartered trip to Hawaii for 5 days.

Cons

Oh boy, here we go. The pay is so good, that even though you'll come to hate every day you come in to work, you won't be able to find a new entry level job without a massive pay cut. The insurance used to be unbelievably wonderful, and now it's a total joke. (large deductible auto drafted from paycheck before insurance starts paying for anything) Staffing; QT used to have some of the strictest hiring standards in the industry, and now they'll hire just about anyone with a pulse, willing to run non stop for ten hours a shift. Also, don't expect your shift to be even remotely sufficiently staffed to complete the tasks given to you. Most days you'll be short handed but still held responsible for the same amount of work. Training; Management training is sub par compared to what it used to be, seems like even after 3 weeks, assistant managers still have no idea what they are doing. Clerk training is a complete joke, you get 4 days to learn roughly eighty tasks, and you'll only be trained on how to do forty or so of them. Full time; The schedule is awful, you will work 46 hours a week over 5 days, and your days off are either split or in the middle of the week. Your shifts are on average 9-10 hours and you do not get breaks. You'll spend the entirety of your shift on your feet, either running around at light speed trying to keep up or standing at a register handling customers. There are no chairs anywhere in the building. Promotions are NOT merit based, the corporate culture here is very political, and it's about who you know, not how hard you work.

Pros

Bonuses and call out days are higher than most companies

Cons

That place gives you ptsd- they demand everything of you, your time, sleep, social life.. everything. You get no breaks at all and no lunch break, at all ever. You have to eat between customers.. which is disgusting.. especially because cash is dirty... and heaven forbid there be more than 3 ppl at the register while you’re trying to eat or go to the restroom! Cause they’ll yell at you for eating and not on register for customers.. or you know.. taking a peefor the first time in 8hrs.. especially if you’re on overnights.. you’ll never ever get a chance to eat or take a restroom break.

Pros

Very good pay, awesome bonuses every month and throughout the year, weekly paycheck, same schedule every week with two nights off in a row. Everyone treats you with respect and are fun to work with, great environment and awesome company that cares about every store and employee. Everyone has to start at the bottom which means that every person on top has been in your position, that's rare in a company. They truly care about the employee, but definitely expect hard work. It's not for everyone, you can't get overwhelmed easily and must be able to multi-task, be energetic, clean bathrooms, take out trash and other dirty jobs, but the starting pay and benefits are amazing. I love it so far.

Cons

The night schedule is tough and sleeping during the day means you don't see your family or friends that often, but if you manage your time-off well, you can make it work. Working 46-50 hours a week as an assistant can be tough, the job is hard and dirty, a lot of multi-tasking, but like I said, it's not for everyone. If you're willing to work hard, you will definitely be rewarded.
