Pros

Simply put the main reason that most people work and deal with the problems put forward to them by this company is simply for the high hourly pay that they afford to entry level positions. When your thirty minutes from a college town and pay $11.00 an hour as a base pay line your going to get people to work there.

Cons

To put it lightly, you are treated horribly by all levels of management above the team leaders, who for their part do their best to mitigate the damage from the higher ups. There really is no consideration for the employee's at all, best example of this is that you get five minutes for a 'snack' when your on an eight hour shift. Not to mention that the break is not guaranteed at all and is dependent upon a managers approval for you to get it at all.

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.
