At one point I loved working for 7-Eleven, but things have changed. No appreciation and no upward mobility. - Store Manager 7-Eleven Employee Review

Pros

Great training. You will learn and understand how to run a profitable business. Be able to see up to the moment information in any category, helping you make good business decisions.

Cons

They try to empower you using the retailer initiative business motto. Basically it’s analyzing data to get what your customers want. Then they have the Field consultants and inspectors check a list of items you must have regardless if it sells at your store. This defeats the purpose. There are many constant changes, one day the company wants to focus on sandwiches, the next bakery items and so forth.

Pros

Pay, Schedule Flexibility and Local Teams - That is where the pro's stop

Cons

Upper Management don't seem to have a clue! They do cuts throughout the company every 2 to 3 years just to hire back/hire new people into roles they eliminated 6 months earlier. They say they value people and their concerns but the majority of workers say nothing about the toxic work environment created by Zone Leaders and above in fear of being singled out. They create positions that don't add value to the field and add more and more work onto field staff. Size of areas continually change - first its 10, then 12, then 16, back to 12 and back to 14+ stores. No consistency in there direction, they train you to manage the whirlwind but the problem is...... they create the whirlwind! Upper Management is a do as I say, no questions asked
