Pros

Steady job, if you get a good franchisee they will work around your schedule for school, customers are great. The organization does have some competent employees but not many.

Cons

There is no room for growth, I have worked at 7-Eleven for many years while paying for college. I graduated from college and applied for a corporate position within 7-Eleven and was told I do not meet the qualifications..lol. I went from sales associate to store manager and have been with the company for more than 10 years and then graduated with a business degree from a university with a great reputation. Then I applied with the corporate side of 7-Eleven and was told I am not qualified. I have more experience than the Field consultants they send in to tell me " what the new items packet contains". It is sad that they will hire from outside the organization but will not promote from within from a franchisee to a corporate position....especially when you are more than qualified for the position.

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

Steady hours, free drinks, meet an assortment of people, repetitive customers that you get to know and like

Cons

Low pay, bad benefits, and mostly working by yourself unless you're first shift, and then only on weekdays.
