Pros

There were a few pros when this was still Holland Oil, but it sold to Circle K back in 2007. Unfortunately, Circle K didn't take the opportunity to get rid of the supervisors (Pokorny) when they had the chance and now these people are still there, and the job is worse.

Cons

The pay is a slave wage....raises are about 15 cents a year. and there's a salary cap for anyone who isn't management. Speaking of management, they get really nice bonuses on the backs of their employees, who get nothing when the store looks great and the numbers are good.

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.
