Pros

A large number of the customers are quite a joy to talk to when they come in from their daily cigarettes or gas-up.

Cons

The managers/owners are childish and inexperienced in managing businesses. This alone is not a total condemnation, but the fact that they treat their employees (and even family members) more like animals or machines than actual people, as well as the matter of lying about payment methods, shady business practices that involved paying me from an alternate store location (technically a different company) in order to avoid paying me overtime on nearly 50 hour weeks is definitely a condemnation. Add to that the fact that situations were often worsened considerably, instead of de-escalated, by the inclusion of the managers/owners input made me feel unsafe working there on numerous occasions. Several other employees were given anxiety attacks due to the exploits of the managers/owners, leading to the point that I was the only employee currently working for them across ALL of their stores (the rest were family members). I am scheduled to be shuttled off to a much smaller, failing store to work due to their apparent want to get me to quit, even when my car is shared between multiple people and me traveling sizable distances mean that one of us cannot get to work.

Pros

Good hours. Decent pay. Good benefits. If you're on a good team or find good mentors, you can have a very successful career here and there is no set "career path" so you can find which part of the business you like and steer yourself in that direction.

Cons

It's very team dependent. You can love one team, and dislike the next. Your manager really makes or breaks your experience. As with any large company it is very political and hard to get things done in a timely manner as it has to go through many different departments to get approval. A lot of the older people at the company are just completely content working 8-4 with a decent salary and good benefits and have zero sense of urgency to get anything done, so as a younger professional trying to make a name for yourself that can be extremely frustrating. No semblance of a "culture" whatsoever, even though you can tell management has tried very hard to get that after the oil spill.
