Pros

It is easy to work at 7-eleven as a clerk. You have to do some cleaning, and restocking, but other than that, it is pretty easy. The pay is okay, but isn't great. It's usually about minimum wage, but may be more. The pay is low, but you aren't really doing a lot of work, so it is okay. Most 7 Eleven's are open 24 hours, so if you want to work night shift, that is a good option. The shifts are usually 7 am to 3 pm and then 3 pm to 11 pm and then 11 pm to 7 am. I think that the 3 pm to 11 pm is a good shift.

Cons

It can be very boring, and is a little dangerous. There are no benefits, like health insurance or dental or eye care. Also, no paid days off. Also, if they don't like you, they can fire you and quickly have someone to replace you. Another downside, is that some people look down on convenience store clerks, because it requires almost no education and does not pay very well. This can be frustrating, if you're not getting any respect from your friends and family. Also, cleaning can be disgusting sometimes. You get gloves though. Overall, it is not a bad job though.

Pros

good work value and environment friendly

Cons

The manager would call my phone at 3 am to tell me to unload a truck full of drinks alone, constantly, even though it was never mentioned or docked as pay.

Pros

Absolutely loved all the customer interactions I had when working there and loved how it taught me how to work with all types of customers.

Cons

Management was usually always weird with the rules. Would say not to do something and when a customer would complain, management would telll me to do it. And also scheduling days off was rough. I would give them weeks/months in advance and they would still try to schedule me. As well as trying to say "if someone robbed the store, the money would be taken out of the paycheck by whom ever was working the shift"
