Pros

Store operations employees do not get laid off. Always work available, plenty of overtime. Weekly paychecks. Benefits are okay. most management is respectful, polite and courteous. Very large company with good opportunities. Once you learn the business, its actually a nice place to work. company has many locations which provides an opportunity to get an assignment close to home.

Cons

Managing a convenience store/ gas station is a very challenging 24/7 job. Getting time off can be difficult. Even when you have a day off you are still managing the business from home. Phone calls and text messages come through often on some days. Employee turnover is high in convenience store business. Circle K is a good company to work for but you must be a good manager or the business will ruin your life.

Pros

Surprisingly Great Access to Benefits. I opened up an HSA and had access to a company sponsored HDHP insurance plan, so it's a legit savings account. Well, they throw the food out at the end of the day, so if you buy anything while you're working there then you're making a mistake. Great work environment, like they can actually sell chocolate bars inside! -- What a bar.

Cons

Well, you can only stay there for so long. I found if you don't try out the deals then your particularly hurtful to customers, the caviot is the food deals are a waste of time. They'll work you if you try the stuff, so just don't try anything.
