I wanted to get y’alls opinion on something. Right now I work at Circle K making $16.25/hour, but I usually work between 46–52 hours a week. 48 hours a more accurate # Buc-ee’s hired me at $20/hour, (new Benton, AR location) but they told me they can’t guarantee 40 hours. They said I would probably average around 32–35 hours a week, and during the busy season 35-40.
Circle K is trying to keep me and may raise my pay to $18/hour. If that happens and I keep working around 48 hours a week with overtime, I feel like I’d actually make more money than I would at Buc-ee’s. If both jobs were only 40 hours a week, Buc-ee’s would only pay about $80 more per week.
Another thing is that Buc-ee’s is farther from my house, and I’ve heard they have very strict attendance and workplace policies. At Circle K, I’m already an assistant manager, I’m comfortable in my role, and I have a lot more flexibility and responsibility. Can use my phone laid back relaxed and do what I want. The downside is that I usually only get one day off each week, often work alone on my shifts, and work a lot of hours.
Since my main goal is to make as much money as possible, I’m leaning toward staying at Circle K if they give me the raise. Do you think that’s the better decision, or would you still choose Buc-ee’s? I am not looking to grow in either company tho. Nor care about either company benefits. As well I’m already employed by Bucees start on July 20th grand opening August 23rd I already did onboarding yesterday if I decide to call before my first day to say I appreciate the job opportunity will i possibly be rehire able?
As well if you have gotten terminated/quit why so?
