Pros

Store level employees that are hungry for leadership. POS system that is second to none in the c-store industry. Informative Operational Management Training.

Cons

Extremely poor leadership in some markets. Management that thrives on fear and threats to motivate employees. Employees afraid to speak out in fear of retribution. Company defines insanity by doing things the same way expecting a different result. "No" work life balance. Micro management gone wild. Change resistant management - too many lifers. Servant Leadership Initiative a joke. Outdated and run down stores. Franchise agreement leaves franchisees with nothing but massive debt and a story.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

· Guaranteed overtime — Night shifts often ran long, and overtime was consistently available. · $14/hour starting pay — Standard for the role, but the overnight differential helped. · Overnight schedule — Good for night owls or anyone who prefers a quieter work environment. · Hudson Oaks PD presence — Police regularly stopped by, which made the late hours feel safer. · Minimal direct supervision — No manager breathing down your neck during night shifts. You were trusted to run the store independently.

Cons

· No training provided — Promised during the interview, never delivered. · Missing cleaning supplies — Brooms, glass cleaner, disinfectant were frequently unavailable. · Poor communication from management — Last-minute schedule changes, full voicemail box, unanswered requests. · Unreliable morning crew — Night shift often had to stay late because morning people didn't show up on time. · Terminated after setting a boundary — Asked to leave at scheduled end time; was fired the next day.
