Pros

Nice HQ Some great people that are smart and kind great vendor events at the HQ with giveaways and products before they are in store Pay isn't bad

Cons

The business model is flawed and it starts at the top. The Chief Digital Officer was recently fired and people are beginning to stress about the entire digital department. 7-11 has spent the last 3 years investing heavily into digital and customers that have no interest in shopping at 7-11. They seem to think mothers with children would prefer to go into a dirty and overpriced 7-11 as opposed to a Starbucks or Target. They also think young professionals are interested in downloading a delivery app exclusively to 7-11 as opposed to just using 1 of the 15 other apps that they already use to get items delivered. 7-Eleven has invested millions of dollars into products such as a delivery app that customers are not interested in and they are continuing to invest more. They are trying to invest in technology and digital, which on the surface isn't a bad thing, the problem is..... nobody wants Slurpees and microwaved pizza delivered or really cares about in store check out at a 7-11 on their phone. Leadership does not seem to understand that or just doesn't care. They are hiring contractors, as opposed to FTE's to complete some of the work, only to fire the contractors once the projects fail. General lack of confidence in job security and leaderships ability to do what needs to be done. Everyone looks at digital as a sinking ship. Everyone is trying to get off before it's too late.

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

Absolutely loved all the customer interactions I had when working there and loved how it taught me how to work with all types of customers.

Cons

Management was usually always weird with the rules. Would say not to do something and when a customer would complain, management would telll me to do it. And also scheduling days off was rough. I would give them weeks/months in advance and they would still try to schedule me. As well as trying to say "if someone robbed the store, the money would be taken out of the paycheck by whom ever was working the shift"
