Pros

Barista qualification could be taken to other organisations, some of the staff you work with were good people. CEOs do come round and visit stores and are really decent people.

Cons

Store and area managers in some cases are awful, rude, and gossip about their staff. Most managers are between 25 and 35 so actually have no idea how to properly manage PEOPLE. No flexibility in working hours, clear favouritism.

Pros

It's a job if you have nothing else

Cons

For the most expensive gas station somehow they manage to still be the lowest paid - only being offered a $1 raise for a leadership position when I have over 5 years of management experience is disgusting. They only care about getting people to sign up for rewards and will write you up if you don't get people putting in their number - they basically expect you to hold a gun to the guest head and force them to put their number in - district and regional management only care about juicing their bonuses while the rest of us struggle to pay rent every month - brought this up to regional manger over 3 months ago with a "I'll look into it" yeah right buddy..
