Reviews
It changes day to day and from rotation to rotation. I'm currently in Operations where I spent the first three months completing store experience. That means I've spent two weeks in class learning how to run a Franchise, worked in store as a staff member & store manager as well as relief a retail business manager (i.e. area manager). I'm now working closely with the National Manager on a business strategic initiative. This involves collaborating with various key stakeholders from different departments. I helped facilitate the
At the moment and while I'm in Retail Operations, I am acting as a Retail Business Manager. This is similar to a District Manager but with more of a partnership perspective with franchisees. What I do is essentially coach franchisees to grow their business by meeting with them throughout the week to analyse sales data, review financials for opportunities, implement top-down initiatives in store, and ensure compliance with 7-Eleven standards as well as legal standards. The job also entails a lot of relationship management and problem solving.

Pros and cons of working at 7-Eleven Australia
Pros
Variety of departments and breadth of learning opportunities.
Culture.
The company places a lot of focus on improvement - they're never complacent where they are. This means that although they have to maintain certain standards in some areas, they continually try to innovate and be creative in other areas.
The size of the company is great. It's not small but not too big either so that there is a familiar feel to it and you can get insights into many different areas.
The people and the culture.
Cons
Outdated systems.
Some in-house processes and technologies aren't up to speed with how quickly the company is trying to innovate which makes it difficult sometimes. Communication across departments and to all staff isn't always the best either.
The office in Mount Waverley is not easily accessible by public transport.
The exposure to food! Our canteen is basically a 7-Eleven store with free Slurpee. If you don't have the self control, you can expect weight gain (around 7 - 11 kgs).
