Pros

They pay well with double time on holidays. Coworkers were great.

Cons

Constantly remind you that they have unrealistic expectations, but they pay well. Unrealistic rules. Toxic work environment that treats every employee like a child. Unrealistic expectations are rules like you can’t go to your car for any reason, even needing Tylenol. Supervisors don’t respect the 20 minute break time. Bathroom breaks are great but don’t have an upset stomach because they will call you into the office. One minute is late no matter the circumstances. Don’t get a flat tire on the way to work. Zero tolerance policy for tardiness. You can’t call in more than an hour ahead of time. They don’t respect work/home life balance. 7 days of working without a break isn’t uncommon. No watches and no phones while on the clock except on your 20 minute break. Employee’s would hear about their pay rate and unrealistic expectations at least 3 times in an 8 hour shift. Some of management cared about the employees well being while others were closer to Drill Sargents in the military. Also there are cameras everywhere and it’s not just to prevent theft but to enforce the laundry list rules. Out side of good pay, the health care plan is either garbage or over priced. No plans in between. It would be more advantageous to search out plans on your own.

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.
