The job itself is not bad, as far as compensation and how the company treats employees in general is deplorable.
Pros
The customers are very polite and become somewhat of a Speedway family. The relationships built are very good ones.
Cons
I've been there 5 years and only make $8.00/hr. You have opportunity to get a bonus every three months, but everything, and I do mean everything has to be perfect in the store and you have to push people into buying $20,000 worth of crappy gas station food in a month. You also have to push the customers into buying hundreds of selected candy bars/mo. or the bonus is only $20. While the managers who don't do anything get bonuses every month. If you don't kiss butt you can't move up. If you are not willing to work every shift and double shifts you have no opportunity for advancement. The most of a raise you can get in a year is $.20. The assistant managers are suppose to cover shifts for a call in if they cannot find anyone else to work. On more than 3 occasions I had to come in during family emergencies or I would have been written up or fired. But it is suppose to be Asst. Managers job to cover my shift. One was a death in my immediately family and I had to go to work that day. Two of the other occasions my 3 year old son was admitted into the hospital, and the other my mother was involved in a car accident and I had no idea if she was going to be okay. I would never recommend anyone to work at this place, ever.
