Pros

Elevated pay, but you have to work a lot of OT.

Cons

Literally everything else but the pay. People dedicate their lives to this company. Some will move across state or country to help grow the company they love. You can give 10-15 years of your life to this company, not have any write ups or disciplinary actions, and still get fired. District managers and higher only visit the store to discipline. They offer no help, support, or coaching when the store isn’t performing to their standards. They just fire you and move on to the next. I remember working a record breaking Memorial Day weekend at our location. The owner of the company, Don, came by the day after, and instead of thanking everyone in the store for their hard work, all the front end manager received write ups because 1 item was mispriced by a dollar. Do not work for this company.

Pros

The employees are amazing and very kind. It’s sad they have to go through what they go through with toxic management.

Cons

The management there sucks. Most are 2 faced. They do not realize that they are in a small town and that to local people they are just a more expensive version of Walmart. Actually I would pick Walmart over this Buc-ee’s any day. I had 4 interviews with them for them not to even give a reason to why they wouldn’t hire except I was not Buc-ee’s material. If anyone knows what that means…… they micromanage everything. Employees are scared to do anything bc they never know when they will be fired at any giving second of the day. This place is suppose to be family oriented but they definitely are not…. This is a terrible place to work. You’re always in fear of loosing your job,. Money sounds good but it is not worth it if you want to keep your sanity.
