QuikTrip reviews

In less than two weeks my trainer decided I wasn't good enough (i.e. completing tasks quickly enough, keeping track of all the customers) to continue training with the company and let me go. This is unfair as it takes more than two weeks to develop a routine and improve your performance when starting a new position. Also, in conversations with my trainer, it seems that store operations are a priority over customer service.

You are a janitor. Customers are rude, a lot. Supervisors are often unfair. Some stores are just REALLY ghetto and dangerous. You are allowed 15 sick days, but if you use "too many" (maybe half or more) you get criticized and lose chance of promotion. It's mindless. Clerks are very young, usually 16-18. While some are great and would like a promotion, it seems as though most don't care about their job. This can be true anywhere, but seems more so at QuikTrip because of the hard physical work. As a manager, if the last manager did not complete all of his duties, you are responsible for making that work up. If you work in the stores, there is very little chance you'll want/get to go to Corporate. The pay is significantly lower there. Security measures are for after the fact, not preventative. If an audit of merchandise is short, the manger and supervisor will question and assume it's employees stealing first. It's always busy. Long hours (for management). No life outside of work. No career path unless you want a completely mindless path. Things change constantly, sometimes good, but usually creating more work with the same amount of time & help. Pay--I say this because once you start making $45k as a lowest-level manager, it makes it hard to leave. You are expected to get the prices of gas from other gas stations that are close by without given the time or pay to make up for that. When brought up in meetings, it was told to us that "that's why management makes the big bucks." So basically you're working off the clock. If you work overnight, you are expected to clean everything, whether it's on your list of duties or not. During the summer or when whether is nice, it's common to be a clerk short. They call in and the "ER" program (that is supposed to have backups) is all used up. This happens especially at high volume stores. Customers expect you to remember them so that they don't have to be ID'ed (for beer, etc.) Customers complain and argue when ID'ed. Bathrooms are always disgusting to clean because of the volume of use. A lot of people steal and you can only say something if you saw it and know where the person hid it. Locking the beer doors is the end of the world for customers on Friday and Saturday. Looting happens, often. It's hidden and goes un-talked about. Robberies are common.
