Decent place to work but not much room for advancement with how uptight the company is.
Cashier/ Sales Associate (Former Employee), Woodruff, SC – May 28, 2013
Pros: free drinks, and paid weekly.
Cons: upper management, and one person in the store at a time usually. as well as high prices at the station for food.
Normal day at work would be coming in, getting the til opened up for the shift,ringing up the line that had formed, and then stocking what i could between customers. slow paced when u got a break but very fast with the rushes. Learned how to run a simple P.O.S. as well as the other functions of the gas station. Got better with the people of the town. – more... Management when I got there was good. Higher management wasn't so great. My co-workers were great to work with and we helped each other out a lot. The hardest part of the job was to manage to get everything done between the rushes, and the enjoyable part of the job was working with the other employees and seeing the people from town that I had gotten to know coming in the station all the time. – less

Ok job
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Jackson, MS – May 3, 2013
Pros: full time work
Cons: bad security
This job has no benefits and only pays min wage. The job is fairly easy but the security practices are not good for a gas station and could easily put an employee at risk from robberies. The stress is low unless you work the nightshift when the danger of being robbed is the highest.

I was able to meet some very colorful people.
Team Member (Former Employee), Crystal River, FL – April 15, 2013
My work was over night so I was always by myself.
Management was always trying to find different ways of doing my job.
The hardest part of the job was that I was always alone.
The most enjoyable part of the job was that I was alone. I was able to get more done.

sharpens your people skills/customer relations
Sales Associate (Current Employee), King, NC – April 1, 2013
Pros: insurance benefits even for parttime employees
Cons: no breaks
A typical day includes greeting all customers and trying to make their shopping experience pleasant. Keeping the store stocked and clean is also very important. A clean and friendly environment is was we strive for. My co-workers are all very easy to work with as is my managers. Standing in one spot for hours without a break can be the hardest part – more... of the job, but meeting people and seeing regular customers makes it worth it. – less

Fun place to work
Customer service (Current Employee), Charleston, SC – February 21, 2013
The Pantry is a company that has many different business. They provide a good chance to start woking but not a place to work for the rest of your life.

late hours-no time for school
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Brooklyn, MS – January 24, 2013
Pros: getting off work
Cons: late-shifts
I worked alot of late shifts that drained me. I was always nervous of who would walk in and I never felt safe. If anyone else was working with me, they would find something else to do and keep me on counter taking care of customers. The best part of my day was going home.

Not a permanent position
Customer Service Assistant Manager Full-time (Current Employee), Palm Bay, FL – January 16, 2013
Pros: it's a paycheck
Cons: unsafe working conditions, with the possibility of a robbery at any time.
It's like being a bartender without the tips. Management ignores important issues regarding employee safety, and time-cards are changed without notice, or consent. When concerns are voiced, management and higher ups laugh at it, because they know we can't do anything about it if we expect to keep our jobs. I am currently actively looking for a position – more... in almost any other field than this one. – less

confusing
Cashier (Former Employee), Chapel Hill, NC – December 11, 2012
There were so many of them they never kept you in the same place long. I did not like that because you never really get to know your customers or your surroundings.
