Pros

Always a veriety of things to do to never get bored. Pay got better with time or when you would transfer to another store. 401k matching was also very good. Bonus money was good every other year.

Cons

Had been with SW for 20 years. The first 10 years were pretty good. ... the last 10, I became a number and not a person. Lately the company had focused on the stock value so much that they have lost what made them so good. Every year there would be the next push to increase gallons. ... Or gross profit. ... Or sales. The stores budget was not made until march.... so the year was already 1/4 over till you knew how you were doing. My stores manager transferred beginning of the summer and left myself and my full timer for 2 months. No other help was offered other than my district manager saying to pull up our boot straps! This was a 1.8 million dollar commercial store with a cdl driver. Crazy summer and great money with OT. But not once was thanked by the district manager for covering the store. Thus the exit.

Pros

The schedule was flexible and the training was on par for the position. Great benefits for part time employee's that I have seen no where else: paid holidays, 401k option available, free flu shoots and tobacco cessation programs. The pay was fair for the position and my experience. The store I worked at was located in a small town so the frequent customer's became known by name. Good store management and work environment (in my experience) Overall I really enjoyed my time at SW due to the manager and assistant manager I worked with. It seems to be a great place to work while attending college or while doing other work/job on the side.

Cons

Upper lever management is out of touch with reality. You'll be pushed by upper management to do an exponential number of sales calls per week with unrealistic goals. All of course without any increase in compensation or type of incentive.

Pros

compensation is good both front and back

Cons

It is like working for the post office , nobody takes ownership, "its not my fault" is a commonly heard phrase. managment is out of touch, supeervisors are not trained to recognise and react to daily glitches
