Pros

The pay is the only positive. They're definitely above the market trend in pay.

Cons

As they pay so well, they expect you to be 100% percent available at all times. You're required to work 48 a week but they make you work 60+ even when it's not necessary. They watch camera and listen in on conversations. The benefits are good if you live in Houston. The company they use is based in Houston so few providers accept it. They expect you to come to work no matter what. Sick, death in family, flat tire, car wreck. I've seen employees get written up for all of that. I don't even mind that we don't get lunch breaks. I mind that the higher ups don't follow the same rules. They get to go off site and take hour long lunch breaks. We're allotted five minutes. They make us managers carry around little "BOLO" reminders to write employees up for specific things. It takes micromanaging to a new level. The culture is so toxic. The employees are so unhappy. It's widely known that the company does not care about its employees. As managers, we're told to replace them instead of addressing the real problem. You're not allowed to ask for days off. If you need a specific day off, you must use PTO. You cannot request that it be your regularly scheduled off day. If you forget to clock in or out, you're written up. You're constantly walking on egg shells.

Pros

nope, only pro is the pay.

Cons

Please read carefully before considering a position there. As I have a limited number of characters please understand that Buc-ees as a company invest in bodies and not people. Meaning they are a revolving door for their staff. Their pay is THE ONLY pro. I have numerous stories on how poorly they treat their staff and it all falls within the scope of what is legal since they exploit every legal loophole and exploit their workers in the process. People have been let go due to their own mistakes, they do not care about any extenuating circumstances such as family emergencies, broken down vehicles, or even personal injuries. The company does not offer bereavement, and offers absolutely no breaks. The only thing they offer is a “moment” where you have 5 minutes to eat, it starts the moment you walk away and you cannot sit, must stand while eating at a designated cocktail table. If you value your health, your personal sanity, and your family know that they will not prioritize or help you. Please spread awareness and warn others, my hope is if they lose enough staff they will have to change their policies. You deserve better.

Pros

You will get $12.00 per hour if you work in the Deli or $11.00 per hour if you work as a Cashier or in Gifts. That is the one and only thing good about the job. Let me stress ONLY!

Cons

You WILL work for 8 hours straight with no chance to sit down because there is not a table or chair anywhere (except for managment). Customers ask for somewhere to sit and they cant either. You will be worked like a slave. You will be bullied and harassed by upper managment if your not part of their clic. It is like High Scool all over again but they are meaner. They dont care about anything but the numbers and themselves. Managment are gods who get to eat what they want, when they want for free(product theft) with no consequences, Alot of double standards! I would not wish this job on Marilyn Manson!
