Pros

+ They pay well for a no experience necessary job. + double pay on holidays + free mug refills while on duty + Frequently had overtime from covering shifts where employees just quit on the company.

Cons

- Management is hit or miss. I had one manager that micro-managed everything I did even though I had been there 5+ years. The manager that hired me was great and very flexible though. - no employee discount - no break room or access to fridge if you want to bring your own lunch - Cell phone policy is absurd. If you're seen even off the clock, in uniform next to your car with a cell phone, you can be immediately terminated. With 8 hour shifts, prepared to be fully away from your phone while at work. Makes it very difficult to contact friends/family in emergencies since even landline access is restricted. - Very busy environment and restrooms have to be cleaned every 30 minutes. - Health insurance plan was a joke and not worth it. - Loyalty is not rewarded, I worked there for 5+ years and had to watch high school students who were hired only a few months ago being promoted to supervisor positions.

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.
