Circle K

I want to first say I have Lived in the area for 50+ years. I own 4 businesses in the area.That being said, I want to point out that you have managers working as mere employees. I know one currently that was a manager for McDonalds for 3 plus years. I know because I go in and meet friends there every night for coffee. I have seen her work. I also take note of the other employees you have. While some are good, I believe his Mike is the only other to even mention, This Young Lady has what the others don’t. You can tell by the way she speaks to her customers and her ethics and aptitude. The manager clearly doesn’t know what she is doing. You don’t hire an employee like that and work her and call on her to help you out without recognition or reward. You just don’t. It’s so hard to find a good employee that can grow with a company. She is one of those. If she isn’t a manager soon, I still very well might, I’m going to offer her a leadership position at one of my company’s. I’m confident in what I see. The others are adaquate but do not come with that kind of promise. I have seen her there more then the managers on top of that. She is always filling in. A managers responsibility is to Lead and to allow there employees to grow. This manager is obviously not what an owner should have for their face of there business. She’s not only never there, but she doesn’t value what she has. She doesn’t know how to hire employees (she got one right but not using her where she should). Managers that work for me are involved. This one is absent and seems very destitutive. Almost Lethargic in an involved business way. I heard she was on the way out and got a job elseware, but still is the manager? You can’t have a manager full time elseware. Simple as that. If your an owner, you know this. It can’t happen. I can promise this employee you have will be given another opportunity. I see her in there in the morning doing truck on Saturdays, staying over, getting called in... where are the managers? I guess you don’t have any that know what they are doing. I am making this review in relation to multiple experiences at the location and as a multibusiness owner with input. The young lady I’m talking about has been there since summer. She’s the best you have hands down. McDonalds owner screwed up letting her walk from there Management team. I’ll probably see her Saturday morning when I fill up and grab coffee. So as to the actual review. Hire a manager that has delegation experience. Has the ability to see strengths and weaknesses in employees. A quality manager will bring in quality employees and in turn bring in better remarks and more profit. Simple as that. 3 stars were given just for the performance of the Young Lady and mike. She makes it worth 3 herself! The Managers you have now. Have a ceiling as high as doll house. The one employee that has promise won’t be there long. She’ll get her chance. :) *note - I over heard the latest hire was a manager for McDonalds... she isn’t the one I’m talking about.* note 2 - I’m in no way saying the managers currently are bad and I don’t know the circumstances but they do need further training and drive. That is clear. I will leave another review if I see a change.
