Pros

The benefits are great when you are a manager and some of the people you meet are nice and kind. They are willing to help you succeed in the company if that's what you are looking for. Only the pay for co-managers and store managers are good.

Cons

Management has it bad sides depending on who they stick you with to work. I have gone through 4 store managers and my last one was the worse one of them all. She's been with the company for a long time so she does whatever she feels like it, like hang out in her office and only work when she feels like it. She has connections within the company which is why she still has her job, but according to everyone else, she's a horrible manager and trainer. She is not the only one in the company that's like that.

Pros

Love the long term employees and most of the customers. Built wonderful friendships. Bonuses are great. I honestly loved my job. Worked all 40 weeks of my pregnancy. Came right back after 6 wk check up. I was completely devoted to my job which was now turning into a career.

Cons

Bonus structure changed so much that they made it completely impossible to get one. When I first started 7 yrs ago it was fun and exciting to go to work. Although I worked my way up very quickly from a part time cashier to the store manager I didn't realize how the higher ups did things. Needless to say that my last year of employment here left a horrible sour taste in my mouth. I look at things completely different. I thought I would be working at speedway 30 years from now like my fellow peers that had trained me. But because I wouldn't keep my mouth shut about special treatment given to certain managers it ended very soon.

Pros

-Paychecks were great with monthly bonus + overtime -Working hard moves you up; I was promoted within 6 months -I really enjoyed getting to know the regular customers--I still continue some of the friendships to this day! -Upper management was great. District manager came by every week, knew everyone's names, and seemed to honestly listen and help if he could.

Cons

-I worked 50-55 hours per week, spending much of that time fixing other people's mistakes or laziness. Most of my days got started around 4:30 or 5 and ended around 3 or 4. -Hourly for co-manager was 10.50/hr -The reason hard work is noticed is because it is so rare; turnover is high -Lack of professionalism both in regular employees and some management -Constantly understaffed, especially for the giant checklist of things you're supposed to get done each shift
