Pros

Easy job but demanding on your feet a lot. Liked some of my customers but the co workers were not always professional

Cons

Very low pay, hard to make promotions, training was not always available. Crazy change in schedule at last minute. Abused by some customers. No respect.

Pros

Being able to take expired food home.

Cons

At my location we only get paid for the hours were scheduled. So if I wrk any extra time to count my till or fix the coffees I don't get paid for it. It's a franchised location I recommend that if you work at a 7-11 don't work at a franchised location. Work schedules are made last minute so you can never make any plans for the upcoming week. They expect alot of work for minimal pay. Youre by yourself alot and do not get any lunches or breaks.

Pros

For being retail, we work typical 8-4 work days, easy to get time off for family issues, enjoy working with fellow DMs

Cons

Upper management doesn't care about what you're really doing, just how can you make their numbers look good. Even if that means that the store is dirty and sales are down, as long as you can increase sales in whatever the current focus catagory is and report a high cleaniless score on your report. Also, taking pictures and adding "fuzz" numbers for your boss so he can forward it up to his boss goes a long way, but real work goes unnoticed. Corporate is always trying to "sell us" on products and ideas that we know are not going to work. Most new items that hype up end up failing (90%) and as soon as something doesn't work, they move on to the next item and force you to sell that to the stores. It seems like they're making money by selling product to the franchisees and the DMs are asked to be salesmen instead of improving the stores profitability.
