Pros

Good pay, end of the year bonus check, most coworkers are good because of how picky they are in hiring.

Cons

St. Cloud markets upper management doesn’t know what they’re doing. They only see but picture, but in order to make big picture Work you need to focus on small picture first. Turnover has been crazy and even with being one of the best paying retail jobs we still can’t keep people. Issues are pushed off until it becomes such a problem it has to be fixed. They work load is intense. Like, nothing is particularly hard, but there is just so much to do and they’re more worried about meeting labor then they are about their coworkers. They claim they care about coworkers more than anything but if you say you feel overwhelmed or need help they just tell you not to worry but change literally nothing.

Pros

Year end bonus- free coffee/soda and piece of fruit Loved the guests And people that I met Thats about it

Cons

I had worked at Kwik Trip for quite some time- at 3 Dif stores & st first I liked my job. The stores for the most part are all pretty much the same poor store leaders!! They get away with a lot of crap because dist leaders and corporate has NO CLUE!! They sit in the office & BS- Eat (which coworkers get a 10 min break to do & Rarely get it- or get interrupted!! They leave the store supposedly to go get supplies or whatever & are gone for hours at a time!! They work NO holidays or weekends & usually take 3 or even 4 day weekends!! And they get all the praise & perks Extreme favoritism and harassment- mean treatment from store leaders as well as nasty rude asst. leaders and it is basically ignored by upper management In fact dist leaders dont listen to workers concerns or complaints at all- they side with store leaders & justify their actions. The store leaders & kitchen leaders get all the credit for ALL THE WORK that the Coworkers do Our particular store leader never has a nice thing to day to anyone and no-one gets compliments or any time of Positive remarks/praise Very very hostile unpleasant & stressful environment! Even many guests have made such comments The store is Always short handed & there is a lot of work for so little help making Customer Service very lacking & poor There is a list for every shift which is a complete joke- also causing fighting & contention among shifts & coworkers The kitchen is Always a priority which makes no sense- customer service should Always be the #1 priority Too bad this company is losing its “base”- its is just growing too fast and losing its focus on what is really important and the factors that the company was founded on I firmly believe its going to catch up to them- it already is/has and its going to hurt them in the long run

Third Shift: Its Okay

Anonymous employee

Pros

When you work the overnight shift, you get an additional $2 per hour. You're never short on hours, especially if you need them, because every shift (on average) is 8 hours long.

Cons

Boss can be hit or miss, but how your boss treats the third shift crew will affect how high your stress levels are. If your boss does everything they can to make sure third shift isn't left with doing all the work the other shifts didn't get to: great! But if your boss undermines how busy third shift can get (which can be very busy if it's just you and one other person) and tacks on several additional tasks for you to do on top of the other long list of things you need to get done, your stress levels go through the roof. The training can also be abysmal. It took me almost a month to learn how to get trained in the kitchen, and even then, I more-or-less had to go into the kitchen blind for that because it was just me and a NEW person on the floor. Very stressful, and very infuriating.
