Pros

- The pay was great,you get paid every Friday - My co-workers were amazing people, And that's pretty much it

Cons

Luckily I started working before the store had opened because the people that hired me worked with my school schedule. If you try to apply now YOU HAVE TO WORK FULL TIME. Even if you are a student. If you can't work full time, then you simply won't get hired. People were quitting and getting fired left and right within the first month , so I was forced to work full time hours as the year went on. Management for the most part is very hit and miss. For every good manger, there was at least two of them that should have never held the position (which is one of the reasons why I almost quit my second day working there) Some of them can be true bully's for the sake of it. There is a little BS 10 minute break that you HAVE TO STAND UP DURING , and management watches you to make sure you don't go over that ten minutes. If you are a college student, you can kiss your life goodbye, trust me I worked there for six months and this job is definitely not worth not having a life. And the strict rules were so ridiculous that a prison inmate would be flabbergasted. People getting written up for being a minute late, no benefits at all, having to park at the very end of the parking lot, having to stand up your whole shift, and don't even get me started on them making us scrape the warehouse concrete and cleaning grout on our hands and knees (you know the cracks in between the tiles). LOOK just don't work here, go somewhere else, TRUST ME, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!!

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.
