Pros

Weekly pay, regular set schedule for managers, two weeks vacation after one year, overtime available every week. Good benefits if you can get them

Cons

Cons far outweigh the pros. You get weekly overtime, but base pay is low for the work required. Manager is a title, but you are expected and looked on as an associate by upper management. Many hurdles to getting your benefits-if you get them at all. Many times forms are "lost." Upper management is consistently negative and pressure is on subordinate managers to provide negative feedback to associates. Upper management pushes managers to process negative paperwork to make it easier to terminate people. Store manager has a lot to do with employee moral. Most store managers are negative, have a chip on their shoulder. I have watched employees threatened and intimidated. Positive feedback is non-existent; promotions are mainly political. No annual raises. I would never work for them again; and many feel this way.

Pros

Lateral and upward movement options. RaceTrac promotes from within and allows you to move laterally if you so desire. The benefits also are very good. Profit sharing/retirement/medical/dental/vision/etc.

Cons

Managers sometimes treat subordinates like they don't know anything. The flow of information from the retail employees to the corporate office is almost non-existent, leaving retail employees feeling that they are unimportant. But RaceTrac is working to be more open to knowledge sharing from the bottom up.

Pros

All jobs have PROS such as, a sence of personal achievement and a weekly paycheck. As for Racetrac the only Pro I can come up with is that there is a a set work schedule for management, including days off.

Cons

The "Putting people First" only applies to those that they want to put first. Promotions and praise are only handed out through favortism. Extremely high turnover in all levels of management. This was the worst employer I have ever worked for. The health plan was very poor. Any changes regarding payroll, vacation and benefits had to be faxed, often with a delayed response and sometimes not at all. There is no pay raises at all, regardless of tenure. Managements monthly bonus is based on your stores profitability, which is obtained by being taught by a "Cook the Books" menatlity. Honesty and Intergrity are only words for all levels of upper management.
