Pros

Kwik Trip is overall a very good company to work for. They offer quite a bit more in terms of pay and benefits than most other gas stations. Cashiers starting out usually start between $8.00 and $8.50 an hour for full time. I work part time so they are paying me more to even out the pay between coworkers. I started out making $9.00 an hour and after 3 months got a raise to $9.40 an hour. They believe that every employee is important. One can usually get time off when they need it also (unless you are really needed). The benefits are great, full medical, dental, vision, prescription, 401k, profit sharing, vacation, personal days, sick days, and employee owned real estate.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working here is you are on your feet all of the time, which becomes very tiring. Some of the customers can also be very rude, and you just have to keep a smile on your face at all times. Also, if you work with food everyone has their own way of doing and making things sometimes. There is a certain way that corporate wants us to do everything but sometimes the information doesn't get to us so we don't know how to do it and we find our own way. That then results in coworkers getting confused and arguing on how to do things.

Pros

There are a few really great departments within IT that are staffed with kind people. You get a one time stipend of $300 for at home office equipment. There are flex weeks, where you get a half day on Friday. You must still work 40 hours though. There is additional pay for on call work. Documentation is actually very helpful and most people are happy to answer questions.

Cons

The pay is well under the industry standard (despite what they say) and the IT department has high turnover as a result. Many departments with less schooling requirments make far more than IT workers with a college degree (or 2!). Benefits are very horrible: this includes PTO, health care, and outside training opportunities. Drama is rampant here and creates a toxic environment. There are next to no technical questions during the recruiting process, thus there are many underqualified workers in an already understaffed team. There is “productivity tracking” software installed on the computers and management tracks how long you were away from your computer. If you are on a OPT visa, be wary. There are many immigrants being taken advantage of as there is low pay and no opportunity for sponsorship. The company is happy to spend lots for consultants but are unwilling to give promotions or decent wage increases. Many IT workers are hourly to save money. Hourly employees receive 5 less PTO days than salaried coworkers. If you choose to work here, be prepared for it to seriously effect your mental health.
