Pros

It was a semi easy retail position. This position had its ups and downs, the customers could be great on a good day. When there was a good team present, things could ge accomplished on that particular site. Management changed often, but some mangement team members were assets to the team.

Cons

The politics factor. The PR crap that expect us to project to the customers. Employees were expected to avoid answering questions on the Texas refinery explosion, gas pricing, canopy collapses, and stolen credit card number questions. The usage of secret shoppers and constant new policies are a down fall, when they were unfairly used. Managment would play favorites and the lack of video and audio in managment offices made it hard to prove a case involving management, but they were sure to use these tools when employees were video taped 24/7. Phone call monitoring is also tracked. When we experienced the new internet time clock and automated points system, it was time to go.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies - great matching, HSA, pensions, and bonuses. The culture was great too, middle management was a pleasure to work with.

Cons

It’s easy to get stuck in one position if you’re a high performer. Seemed like if you’re good at your job you get stuck there while others get a lot more mobility. The options I had to move were all within the same sphere, great if you like what you are currently doing but not so much otherwise. Also, expect a re-org every 2-3yrs, change can be good but it was often disruptive during my tenure.
