Pros

The only one is the pay...

Cons

They boast about having over 200 cameras in the store, but they seem to prioritize surveillance and AI over ensuring that employees have a designated break room to rest. The break "area," if you even want to call it that, is two small tables surrounded by a couple of red stools, which are located right in the kitchen! So you can't even leave the area you work in to take your break! You get a whole whopping 20-minute break for the entirety of your shift, whether you work 6 hours or 12 hours, with no lunch break, and they expect you to rest while eating your lunch. Also, not allowed to have a watch on "even with a bicep band!" when you work in food, but every other department can, yet you're supposed to keep track of time... while also not being on your phone, while every other manager and team lead walks around with two phones in their pocket.

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.
