Pros

Good pay and good employees whom are drug free, tattoo free, smoke free environment. Full time means 40+ hours here and that is easy to get as they pay from the moment you clock in until you clock out. They encourage you to clock in at least 20 minutes early each day. So overtime pay happens on every check.

Cons

No chairs to sit in, no table to eat at, Not expected to take "breaks" or "lunch". You can "eat on the fly" if you are lucky. Very restrictive hiring practice = no visible tattoos, no smoking on the Buc-ee's property, no unnatural hair colors, no weird cuts, men hair had to be short. If you follow the food handlers course then you may become upset when your area is contaminated with food or chemicals by fellow co workers. The area we had to work in was not large enough and had to be used by several people - often at the same time so meat cross contamination was a big issue.

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.
