      Pros

      Health care and 401k are nice.

      Cons

      The company continues to allow a bullying system of management style. They also pat themselves on the back for hiring females and minorities but that is as far as it goes. District managers do not listen to their sales force about problems in the field which leads all of us to believe that they are also being bullied and ignored. They also promote their friends into lucrative positions and anyone else into positions that are more challenging or difficult.

      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

      You get paid to show up!

      Cons

      Best way to describe my experience: grind 'em up and spit 'em out. Arrogant, self-serving, management that excel best at micro-managing, reducing store personnel to mindless, beaten-down masses.
