Circle K Employer Reviews

After being laid off due to downsizing for 27 months, I took this job. I have an advanced degree, years of work experience, and managed multi-million dollar budgets. Worked my way up the ladder, so work doesn't bother me. I got this $8/hr job by NOT telling them about my previous work experience. The management treated me with absolutely NO respect – more...  - treated me like an idiot. They are in violation of several wage and hour and OSHA laws.

I would not even want my teenage kids to work there. I'm sure that some store managers are better, but this was ridiculous. Co-workers were wonderful. I loved working with the customers. Didn't mind the work. But - the management style was from the dark ages. This place would provide ideal material for that "Undercover Boss" television show to do an episode. They wouldn't believe it. – less

Sadly, Circle K disregards any inclination its employees are human and management makes it obvious if they dislike you. Poor managers are rewards instead of demoted and even if you do your job well, the DMs will find a way to demoralize you.

I advanced within 6 months of being on the job. If you learn and show that you're willing to learn and grow the company will work with you. The company has changed to accomodate the workers.

I done daily shift routines, run cash register, cig inventory counts,lottery,stocking,filling orders,shelves with merchandise and money orders. I worked with excellent co workers. We done excellent team work and on own. The best part of job was working with public and always helping new customers if needed.

TI was a P/T graveyard shift, that I did while in College. Average customer service tasks. I liked the Assisstant Manager though...we got along well.

Everyday was challenging at Circle K.. Location wasn't in the best area so we dealt with varities of personalties with most being not so great. For the most part, I made it work two years strong. Management lack the ability to understand what the employees had to deal with on a daily basis because they were never around.. Employee's came and went. The – more...  hardest part of the job was dealing with the homless and drunk people.. The best part of the job was, because I was a great employee they took good care of me.. – less

The majority of customers are drug addicted or alcohol addicted and can be very rude. My co-workers are easy to work with and they are nice.

As a manager at Circle K you are responsible for every aspect of the business. Inventory, payroll, deposits, the works. It's a hard business, but has many rewards. The typical manager works 60-80 hours per week.

I loved working at Circle K. The customers were awesome and my co-workers were also.

Morning paperwork, placing orders, waiting on customers, receiving deliviers, banking, afternoon paperwork, daily paperwork, surveys, in stock check sheets, scheduling.
Everything was due at a certain time and certain day.
I loved my customers and employees.

Job is good for those who can separate their personal beliefs from their work. I was uncomfortable about selling cigarettes and lottery tickets. Work here required me to run a register, prep food,prep drinks, clean the store and stock the store.

loved my co workers, always had a laugh and did our work.Did the normal stuff like cleaning and helping customers.

this is a convienence store, assisted custmers to find what they want, in a fast, friendly , clean and safe environment, meeting with a category od characters on a daily basis. management was fine with employees, co-workers are fun to be with.

As a prior Circle K Store Manager I liked the freedom to order and merchandise the store to maxamize profits, the ability to hire and train associates, maintaining store standards, giving superior customer service and having excellent vendor relations. I enjoyed interaction with all customers and trying to keep an up beat friendly store.

Typical day at work included counting my drawer and counting lottery immediately after I clocked in. I learned how to provide great customer service and always remain calm and remember that the customer is always right.

If you are not upper management's pet, you wont be with this company long. Very unfair practices

My co-workers depend on me to solve problems, help with tasks.
Management to me is: Lead by example, never by excuess, problem solving.
The hardest part of my job: making sure the front doors stay finger print free.
The Most enjoyable part of my job: helping customers.

I stayed busy, learn how to do lottery (at time didnt have experience), met new people, management was easy to get along with.

the day is always fast it nevers stops. i always learn something new everyday. i learn how to multitask, how to manage my time better, how to stock and take care of customers. management wasnt the greatest when i was there. my co-workers i liked being around them. there was nothing hard about my job

I learned people management skills, inventory control and cash handling.
Management worked hard to develop and retain internal and external guests.
Co-workers were great people to work with hardworking and dedicated.
The hardest part of the job was when the inventory order was delivered.
The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting new people.
