7-Eleven reviews

The district manager refused to let us close when a hurricane was hitting, despite closing all 7-11's around us because our store "was making too many sales" off of the last few people on the roads who needed gas. Hours after the police/emergency planners said that no one should travel on the roads (the winds were scary and dangerous at this point), the district manager kept telling us to stay open. The other employee and I told him (over the phone, since the district mgr was safe at home, of course) that we refused to stay longer and closed the store against his orders. This complete disregard for our safety was the reason I quit.

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.
