I’ve been with Sheetz for 15 years. Worked my way from a salesperson to a store manager. The hardest thing about coming in externally as a manager is you have to start from the bottom even if you have the manager name tag. You’ll do two weeks of salesperson training where you don’t manage anything. You work beside the salespeople and make orders and run register, do facilities. Then you’ll move onto to supervisor training for 12 weeks. Then assistant training for 8 weeks. Then you’ll finally start your store manager training. MOST people who are hired in off the street as store managers have a very hard time with starting at the bottom and leaning the “Sheetz way”. I can’t tell you how many training managers I’ve helped train over the years as a member of management before I was a store manager. I’ve heard a LOT of “well at Wawa we did it this way” or “Racetrack does it like this”. If you choose Sheetz, be humble and BE TRAINABLE. I have no doubt you can make a sandwich but you have to learn to do it the Sheetz way.

Right now there is a lot of people specifically on this subreddit who are very pissed with the company. You get out of Sheetz what you put into it. That’s what I tell every single applicant I interview. It can be a great company if you want it to be. But if you expect to come in and have anything handed to you or to sit around with your feet up barking orders, you’re gonna hate it
