The Zietlow family rocks!

Pros

At Kwik Trip I feel like part of a family, not a number. The leadership of this company is nice enough to share 40% of the companies profits with there co-workers. Kwik Trip also provides many benefits to co-workers both full and part time, that are almost never heard of in the convenience store industy.

Cons

Kwik Trip is a retail establishment, you're never gonna please every customer. You definately come into contact with numerous jerks on a daily basis. The fake smile you are forced to plaster on your face at the start of your shift also tends to be annoyng. Not to mention the chapter book you have to read to every guest before they leave the store... If they wanted a cheeseburger they would have grabbed one!

Pros

Year end bonus is really the only thing was makes them different then any other company. It's a nice check.

Cons

I am required to work super long shifts. People think I'm kidding when I tell them that a work a minimum of 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, all year long......not just during busy times if the year. I've lost touch with friends and family since all I want to do when I get home it sit (been standing for 10+ hours), eat and sleep. There is a horrible work/life balance with Kwik Trip and they pressure managers to work more and more, constantly giving them more tasks and telling them to make it happen.I work hard, but will eventually move on since I can't continue to work these hours and start a family.

Pros

Job security and year end bonus.

Cons

Upper management leaves little to be desired. I feel like a slave to the company. The people who make big decisions for the stores have probably never actually worked in the stores so have no idea what they are talking about half the time. Don Zietlow and his wife like to spew their religious and political beliefs onto us at year end meetings.
