Pros

Solid income, fast paced, always work to be done, fairly secure

Cons

I worked for Speedway for 3 years as a Store Manager. The work was fast paced and always challenging. The hrs. were pretty long (5a-3:30p + weekends). Speedway is a place you can build a career but I question the legitimacy of recent posts. They seem to be from current HR staff who are trying to attract new employees by giving 5 stars to. 2-3 star company. I have friends that still work for the company and the bonus program has become almost impossible to meet. In past years a good size store could bring in 1k to 2k per month on average for the store manager. I have heard those days have ended. Speedway isn't a terrible place to work, but keep in mind that this is a stressful retail company to work for ( it is retail). You will deal with call in's, turnover, and thousands of customers per year. That work is great for some people and not for others.

Pros

There aren't any pros for this place.

Cons

Extremely stressful environment. Lack of hours, dress code too strict (It's a gas station. No one cares if your shirt is tucked in, if you're wearing a belt, or what's in your ears), can get fired for not scanning enough rewards cards when it's not your fault if the customer doesn't have it and doesn't want it, management is horrible, there needs to be one manager there during first and second shift every day and they would just leave to store to inexperienced workers. No breaks. Not even if you work an 8 hour shift. If you work 8 hours, you are on your feet for 8 hours. The surveillance care more about what the employees are doing than the customers. I was told surveillance will tell the manager to fire you if you're shirt isn't tucked in. There are no benefits unless you work there a year. When I was hired, I was told I couldn't get discounts at work, but I could get discounts at plenty of other places, which is fine as long as I get some kind of benefit from working there. I couldn't find where to get these discounts so I emailed Speedway's employee help thing, and they aren't willing to help their employees with basic questions. They told me to ask my manager. I asked my manager, I was told it was on the website. Not only is it not on the website, but you don't get any kind of benefits from working at Speedway until you've been there a year which is total crap. I feel the company is trying to find things to fire people over which is terrible business ethnics.

Pros

As a manager you have great insurance benefits. You have the ability to train your people the correct way in business management and customer service. You only work one weekend a month.

Cons

The company does not care about it's employees. Management is salaried at 50 hrs, but always end up working 65-70 hrs a week. They do not hire reliable people. They do not give proper operating hours to managers and the managers have to work the hours not covered, (mandatory). You are also required to meet all unreasonable sales goals in order to receive your bonus and pass all inspections. Each year the bonus potential is made more difficult, they do not pay the managers enough for what they do and do not respect their managers, very unethical.
