Pros

Free soda/coffee, piece of fruit. Often great coworkers, end of year bonus

Cons

Where to start. Company itself doesnt care about you. Unrealistic goals for food production - which is how staffing hours are generated. Individual store leaders and managers might care, but their hands are tied as far as giving employees the tools necessary. Constantly understaffed for what is required. So many duties and expectations, but Kwik Trip doesn’t want to staff people to get everything done. Pay needs to be better for what is expected, especially food service. You’re constantly hauling around the kitchen trying to get things done and put food out, but no matter what you do, it’s never enough. By time staff gets used to new products, they add more and more products and duties on top of already-stressed workers. Kwik Trip expects perfection and maximum sales but refuses to give the proper tools in order to make it happen - nor will they compensate you more, even if you’re having breakdowns at work because the stress. Look, it’s a retail job. Most of the time, I can punch in and punch out, get my stuff done and leave. Often times though, you get reminded of the issues plaguing the company and get frustrated. If you’re easily angered by corporations, don’t work here. If you don’t really care and want to just get your hours and leave, you’ll probably be fine.

Pros

Newer trucks and a fulling operating shop.

Cons

Company is very full of their own ego, any concerns get dismissed immediately as not to discredit themselves. Promotions happen through the "buddy" system and no job listings are officially posted for career advancement. Management constantly lies to get you in the door. Insurance is unbelievably expensive, highest cost I've ever seen.
