KWIK TRIP Employer Reviews

My typical day at work consisted of customer service, I made coffee, and was also trained in the kitchen. I learned how to do morning bookwork, and how to use the store assistant to check in vendors, to make regular tags, and promotion tags. The management was very flexible with days I needed off. I enjoyed making personal relationships with my customers.

I find my time at Kwik Trip very enjoyable and like the company. I like Kwik Trip because it allows me to keep building my customer service skills.

I am a pt "co-worker" at a newer store, with a young, arrogant,micromanaging, "control freak" for a store leader.We have a very, uptight and stressful work environment due to the store leader. They start you out with lots of employees, and then start cutting hours. A typical day is fast paced and usually understaffed! Some people that work there seem – more... to do as little as they can, and get away with it, while others work non-stop and it seems like we can never do enough!! Many of my co-workers have either quit or moved to other locations because of the store leaders management style, always right, correcting people in front of other,posting memos and writing immature , negative comments on them! I will never forget coming to cashier 1 morning only to find duct tape over 2 of the drawer spots in each register,so you could not even set a $20 in your drawer. There are days that you barely can use the restroom. And somehow kwik trip gets away with only giving you one 20 min break in an 8 hr shift!! Not sure how they get away with it!! Our manager will write you up if you express any opinion that is different,or bring up a question at a meeting that makes her look bad!! Weekends are the best time to be there as SL does not work weekends. Our regular customers are definitely the "best" part of the job! – less

i helped customers made cash drops i worked nite shift...cleaned...handled cash

I actually met my husband working here; he came every morning for coffee and cigarettes. I kept so busy I hardly had time to get my duties done in 9 hours; the day flew right by with a lot of fun; but was hectic and hard on some days. I've never met such a great owner of a company; the benefits were unbelievable!

Stocking the kitchen for the next worker or for myself. Keeping up on inventory to have food available at all times. Keeping up on sanitation procedures and new recipes to keep the kitchen running smoothly. The management was fun and kept you up with them. The co-workers were awesome, always there when you needed help. The hardest part was keeping up – more... with production reports for keeping food on the hot-spot. Sometimes you needed more, sometimes less depending on the customer volume. I enjoyed everything about this job. – less

I really like my job. I would love coming to work if I could count on my co-workers to do their job. If I complain about the previous shift not getting their duties accomplished, I get dirty looks and accused of "not being a team player". It's no fun playing for a "team" when your "team mates" only give 50%. I get really sick of management making excuses – more... for old men and young kids, i.e. "it's too cold outside", "I saw him walking around with a mop", WHAT!!! You won't get fired for not doing your job, only stealing. If you want to get paid to only do half of what's expected of you, work for KT. – less

Typical day at work starts at 2pm and continues until 12am. There are a list of duties that need to be done each day but customers always come first. I have learned so much about the company and how things work and operate. The upper level management are amazing. They have all worked their way up the ladder and so they know about all the positions. – more... My co-workers all work hard and we get things done. – less

This is the type of place where you learn the customers by name, you get to joke around with your coworkers and the job is relatively easy. However, the lack of communication between management and other employees was very difficult to deal with along with the change in hours and lack of consistency. The most enjoyable part of my job was absolutely – more... the customers and the coworkers, there was never a dull moment. – less

Kwik Trip is fast paced and customer service is always number one. You are always busy and the shifts go by fast. The pay is very good and is hard earned. Kwik Trip is family owned and is thriving.

I worked for KT for several years and the last year of employment wasn't shown any new tasks. I got bored doing the same old thing. And then of course the mgmt sucked!!! No positive feedback ever. And I got "lucky" and was scheduled virtually every wekend. Not vry flexible schedule unless u were one of the favorites....

I am a bookkeeper and a shift leader, I have been with the company for a number of years and have learned a great deal about business, budgeting, leading a team, being a team player and making goals. The hardest part of my job is dealing with rising gas prices and angry customers. I love all of the regular guests that you come to know, and also the – more... great values that Kwik Trip has. Also you receive a very nice year end bonus and great incentives to do your job well. – less

Began as a regular co-worker and moved fast through the ranks into management. The company offers chances to advance and is a growing company. Mixture of co-workers between those just there to get paid to those who love their job. Hardest part was the hours in a salary position as well as the management responsibilities. Most enjoyable was the fun people... – more... unfortunately not as many fun and happy customers as wished, but made your day when they passed through. – less

Worked at 1 store for 2 years and loved it raises good reviews. Switched to another wow what a difference. The guys got special treatment by woman store lead. The women would get blamed for everything the guys didnt accomplish. Went from great reviews to horrible even though i accomplished my list and theres and also some of first and lots of 2nd shift. – more... When i left store after 2 yrs 4 yrs at kt total i was at the starting pay again. I called in 2x in 4 yrs the 1x at 2nd store my husband was with his dad at hospital who died that night. The store lead chewed me out the next day for it. Another thing i got dinged on in review was they have store meetings on 2nd shift and said i missed some. I took 3rd shift cause i have no child care and they had it late when i was sleeping for work. Answer i recieved is good thing your young you can handle no sleep you have to go. Old store understood we are on shift for reason and would post min from meeting and didnt expect you there. One such meeting the store lead singled out a girl cause she didn't donate money to buy bricks for corporate and slashed her hrs for it. Another meeting she said nobody better **** me off ill ding you for everything i can. Nice Huh? I called corporate HR 2x they send district lead who just sides with store lead and yells at you. After 8 yrs in Military and multiple jobs this is worst I've ever been treated. – less

I have been employed at kwik trip/kwik star for a few years now and there is no other place like it......you have amazing benefits and a good pay for a convenient store (8.50) per hour. One thing about it is your always on your feet if your older or overweight this job may seem a bit overwhelming for some.......no place shares there profits with their – more... employees like kwik trip at the end of the year 40% of all the profits at kwik trip are divided up to all the employees based on hours worked so at the end of the year your looking at an extra 1000+ bonus check which is nice.......overall its a great place to work – less

Typical day consists of helping guests get products from stores and to help with filling up fuel. Most of the guests are very friendly and come back to store on a regular basis to get needs.

The management will lie to get you to come and work for them. The managment only works around THEIR schedules. Worked almost every single weekend, which I was told it would be every other weekend. They will promise you full time hours and benefits and do not deliver. The manager at store I worked at was very unprofessional. They would swear at you. – more... Hardly ever any breaks. District leader and store manager were very close so anything you told them went right back to store manager. They in return would exaggerate or falsify information so that they could get rid of a person. Work loads are not balanced out equally. Because this management manipulated everything at that store, this was my most HORRIBLE place I ever worked at. – less

I liked the job, but it was very stressful at times. There was a lot of workplace gossip, co-workers not doing their job because a lot of it was left for me to do.

I learned to be who I am working with Kwik Trip. I have learned to solve problems and work with all different kinds of people. I have better decision making skills, I can lead a team and be successful at my targeted goals. One thing for sure is that I learned to value the importance of customers. I loved working for Kwik Trip, everyday was a new day – more... full of new challenges and learning experience. – less

It was a great place to work for, the co- workers are like your second family! Fast pace is completely need in this job for sure!
