I RUN A CASH REGISTER, PERFORM SHIFT CHANGES AND DAILY PAPERWORK. I KNOW HOW TO CLOSE OUT ALL EQUIPMENT AND RUN REPORTS FOR THE EVENING SHIFT. I AM FAMILIAR WITH RUNNING A RUBY REGISTER, EBT, FLEETONE, COMDATA, EFS, AND CHECK MACHINES. I'VE LEARNED ON THIS JOB HOW TO RUN COMDATA AND EFS MACHINES. IT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER CONVENIENCE STORE THAT I WORKED BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE THIS EQUIPMENT THERE.  I LOVE LEARNING NEW THINGS AND INTERACTING WITH THE CUSTOMERS ON A DAILY BASIS. I DO A LOT OF CLEANING ENSURING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR MY CO-WORKERS AND MY CUSTOMERS. SWEEPING, MOPPING, CLEANING AND STOCKING THE FOUNTAIN AREA IS A CONSTANT JOB. KEEPS ME BUSY. I ALSO TRY TO KEEP THE COOLER IN GOOD SHAPE. KEEPING THE BATHROOMS IN TIP-TOP SHAPE IS A MUST FOR THIS BUSINESS. WHEN CUSTOMERS COME IN THEY WANT FAST, FRIENDLY SERVICE, GOOD BARGAINS AND CLEAN BATHROOMS. I BELIEVE IN TEAMWORK IN ORDER TO COMPLETE ALL TASKS. IT TAKES EVERYONE DOING THEIR SHARE TO CREATE A GREAT WORK PLACE. THE HARDEST PART OF THIS JOB IS STOCKING THE COOLER WHEN IT GETS REALLY LOW. SOMETIMES THE PRODUCTS ARE HARD TO REACH. I DON'T MIND WORKING HARD BUT I PREFER DAY SHIFT. WHEN I WORK EVENINGS I DON'T GET TO SPEND MUCH TIME WITH MY FAMILY. I WORK MORE EVENINGS THAN DAYS ON THIS JOB AND THAT IS ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS.

I had a great time while working there, it was just the management they had. The manager I had knew I was in college and was working with me quite well on my schedule, but when I had to miss a mandatory meeting due to an Algebra test in college, she told me that I would be let go. I offered to go in and talk to her and the other supervisor about it and I did, but it didn't get me anywhere. I was even offering to work overtime in order to make up my hours but they would not let me. They also said another reason they were letting me go was because I didn't have the proper training due to having college classes all throughout the morning and could only work the evening/night shift. So it was just a bad experience really. Nothing bad personally towards the staff or supervisors, but I felt like I was not treated fairly. Also, I just wanted to add in there that the mandatory meeting I had missed was in fact posted up on the back of the door in our office room, but I had not paid any attention to it due to concentrating on working and getting all my responsibilities done for the night as well as worrying about my homework I had from college due the very next day at 8:00 am. So I had been a little distracted from worrying about passing my algebra test the next morning/afternoon but it was my own fault I suppose.

I was requested to be AGM of kitchen services to help turn the place around. It was an unwelcoming kitchen environment, the whole kitchen staff wasn't open to new ideas, new management, new suggestions or open criticism. We were watched like caged animals at the zoo by the owner, and the store GM. There were cameras in every crack and cranny. Including mobile apps to make sure we weren't taking any food or doing anything improperly. I was recruited to make change but the kitchen staff would complain to the store mgr and he'd let them win every time. The whole kitchen was filthy grime and grease buildup, walk-in was gross. Nobody there had a food handlers and it was extremely obvious. Utensils dropped and used without being washed, no hand washing, not sanitizing surfaces The whole kitchen staff really should've been replaced. Most unfriendly place I've ever worked. I received almost no training and was even ignored for an entire week. 

The company has great aspirations. However,  they under pay and over work everyone,  especially management at the store level.  They hire people from the outside and when they mess up the whole company gets punished. They play favorites. Their bonus system is a joke.  The raise system is non-existent.  You have to threaten to leave for them to even consider a raise.  You get one week of paid vacation after a year.  You do not get two weeks until 10 years, which is terrible.  My phone is almost entirely used for double kwik, yet no compensation is offered other then a meek 20 percent discount from Appalachian Wireless. No paid sick days. The medical insurance has a high deductible so it's pretty much worthless. The paperwork people at the office are ignorant, and blame store level management for everything.  And it takes an act of Congress to take a sick day. They don't have a retirement plan at all.

A typical day at work would be coming in and grabbing a cash drawer and counting the money and log into the register, checking out customers and turning on gas pumps and setting them up, cleaning and stocking, Taking out the trash and sweeping the parking lot. I learned how to use a Fleet One Machine, I learned how to use a money order machine, I learned how to pre pay pumps and turn them on, I learned how to count down cash drawers, make schedules, check gas and diesal tanks, I also learned how to manage safe and drop money off to the bank. I loved all of my co workers like family, everyone got along and we all had fun working together. The hardes part of the job was standing the whole shift. The most enjoyable part of the job was it was a fast paced work environment and the time flew by.

It's a horrible job and a horrible company to work for. There's no breaks even if you work 8-12 hours straight, no discounts, no benefits, and usually you work alone an entire shift with all of the work from previous shift left on you with rarely a chance for even a restroom break. The management sucks and it's all about who knows who. They'll cheat you out of pay, hours, and raises. The biggest perk of the job is that it's super fast paced so shifts go by fairly quick, other than that there really are no perks. I wouldn't recommend this job for anyone, unless temporarily and no other options. Or as a starter job for a young person to put things into perspective. There is no possible way I'd ever work for this company again. Horrible.

Management was absolutely terrible. They would switch shifts without asking me my plans first just to accommodate the other person. When I would tell them I couldn’t work the switched shifts they would say it’s my issue to figure out now.  Management expected me to do their work and mine but the second I got behind on mine because of theirs it was problem. The hardest part of my job was learning the management paperwork. The most enjoyable part was the customers. A typical day at work was running the register keeping the store clean and keeping up with lottery and whatever management needed from me. I believe I learned how to engage with people better. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Large employer, large presence in the area.  A person can work their way up. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Stressful part for me is no free meal each day.  Serving food without a way to freely try each item makes it difficult to communicate with the customers.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company does their best to encourage and support a fun culture.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Time flies in a good way during the busy times.  Each day is a chance to get a little better to improve.

A day at double kwik, hectic, busy, but fun and enjoyable work. I love working with people getting to know my customers. I enjoyed seeing them and they enjoyed seeing me. My co-workers were good workers, got along with everyone of them. I'd say the hardest part was working by myself, I couldn't get everything done on a busy day, meaning I would be the only one working in one shift. The enjoying part of my job was seeing my customers happy from my service.

It was good at first when I moved to a another location to be come a shift leader who h I got us all the ti me u was part.of management but I wasn't respect as a leader Everytime it come time for someone e to have to stay back I was td u have 2 cause ur part of management but I was the only management that ever had to do it I was suppose to go a raise at 6 mo that never happen year went buy nothing
