Caseys

Work was work I came in started the day with cooking doughnuts and flips cookies ext. But everyday I had to complain to the kitchen manager or general manager that the night before the last employee would never restock the cooler temps or the dough for pizza it was getting where I was being buried and that they would set me up to fail but as it is I don't make excuses I did the extra work to make sure that when the evening shift started they had produce and everything else stocked up the cleanliness was meager at best also at end of the day I made sure dishes were done floor swept and table and counters were cleaned for any surprise inspections and for the other people that came in seen that my work ethics we're at a higher standard then of other kitchen staff the best part of my job was being able to properly provide great food that was done and not just thrown together but also at a great pace to properly get orders out and hot and so laber would stay down and gave people smiles and often take time to get to know what they wanted and expected from me and the best part was knowing that I made the entire management staff look like they were incompetent and that with enough people writing reviews they always said that i was a great person and knew how to use my plethora of skills to be a better employee and customer service that they didn't deserve to have my talent waisted on there lazy staff and there own incompetent management skills than they need to write too the CEO of that franchise and demand that I should have been moved up to management and better pay for the lack of others disgraceful lack of service and morels to be team members 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The BEST part was the times that the manager actually came to the store occasionally & took part in running the place. He usually only came in a couple hours a day. I felt like even tho I wasn't in management & only made minimum wage ( even though I'd been assistant manager at several stores & had years of cashier/ opening experience. Most of the time I was alone during the morning rush. I handled the panhandlers & shoplifters alone. Times nobody was available to provide chang to start with. Worst job ever. Managers get paid 45 hours ( or 50) per week salary. My manager has a wife that's a manager. They are hardly ever at their stores & get paid way too much for the amount of time they actually work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having any help with anything. Could never get ahold of our store manager & representatives would have to drive from other towns to help me. They hire people unqualified that don't really want to work. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It stinks as bad as the pay & job

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, under staffed & under paid

The job was easy and straightforward. Management worked with my availability which was kind of restricted.. What made the job suck and I worked part time, was inconsistent hours and the imbalance of pay. Sure I got paid a good amount an hour but if I was only working 2 days a week, what's the use? Not to mention, if you don't have the availability to come in when they need you at whatever time,  you're hours will be cut more. So they say they'll work with your time but they don't follow through without consequences. Store management also needed WAY better PR skills. They gossiped and talked horribly about their own employees and acted the victim when asked about it. Even at my interview they was speaking poorly about other employees which is very unprofessional. They also played favorites. My hours were cut to give to a new hire who pitched a ridiculous fit because they didn't agree with their paycheck and than allowed them to close their area an hour early because "they were slow." I'm willing to work hard for my money but places like this make staying at a company difficult.

I worked there for almost a year before the Manager let the Asst. Manager create multiple lies to get me fired. Management plays favorites for shifts and promotions, it doesnt matter how dedicated or hard working you are, if you arent brown nosing enough you arent getting anywhere. You are 100% replaceable and they arent afraid to tell you so. Problem for them is that their turn-over ratio is utterly insane and they can only run off so many people before there are no replacements left. I actually loved working for them up until I was fired out of the blue based on lies and not stocking, of all things, mustard dip cups that we didnt even have ordered. Fired 2 days after informing the Manager that I was intending on transferring to another store then poof, fired so I cant go to another.
The pay is pretty good though if you can handle the drama and being made to feel like you have zero value.

What is the best part of working at the company?
From what I can tell there are no good parts to this company, don't expect to be prosperous working here.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The lack of managerial competence is staggering....
Their human resources office is unreachable by call or email. And being scheduled for 6 hours a week being a full time employee is beyond ridiculous... alcohol and drug abuse in the store on the clock is not being addressed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's all about how Casey's  can profit with no care for employees or procedures. Mangers here belive they can verbally abuse thier employees and corporate turns a blind eye.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A 8 hour shift is misery, a typical day includes customers yelling at employees, finding moldy food regularly and hoping management isn't in a bad mood of which they usually are.

Typical day at work was having to much to do and not enough help to get done, I learned when out in management that the managers are  given too many task in a day to complete because the team members can barely leave the register being so busy and being the only cashier besides  the manager on duty , and no one is allowed to get overtime so the manager has to make sure everything is done for the next shift before leaving themselves and if that means the assistant manager goes over in time the store manager gets written up .  And from my experience from working there the district manager had managers going in computer changing time cards if a team member by chance did go over and threatened my job if I went over so I ended up basically working for free many of hours just trying to get caught up 

My time at Casey's gave me a clear undestading of how much management style can affect both morale and performance. While I appreciated the work itself and enjoyed  helping customer, it became apparent that leadership here struggles with professionalism. In particular, I observed a tendency from managers to speak negatively about current and former employees rather than focus on coaching and problem-solving.

Rigid scheduling policies and unwillingness to adapt also made it difficult to sustain a healthy work-life balance. I believe the company could greatly benefit from leaders who prioritize constructive communication, fairness, and respect - qualities that build stronger team instead of breaking it down.

In the end, I'm thankful for the lesson that not every "manager" is truly a leader - and knowing that difference can save you a lot of time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I had a great manager with a decent sense of humor.  Casey's provides good service and very good pizza.  I did a little of everything throughout the time I worked there.  The best part of working there was opening the store at 4:30 a.m. every day, and the morning people liked my smiles every day. I would work here again

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I can't say there was anything stressful because there wasn't. If any task that I didn't enjoy if I had to pick one , it would be stocking the cooler

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast and friendly . My manager was very easy on everyone

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Smiles and more smiles.  Keeping the store clean is important and I enjoyed doing that.  People could tell its well kept and they liked coming into caseys

This company has some of the most unprofessional and disrespectful management I’ve ever worked with. There is no clear communication, no positive reinforcements, and no opportunities to advance. The hourly employees were amazing to work with but the management is so unprofessional and rude it made it hard to enjoy going to work. No flexible schedule like they advertise, they want you to work whenever they choose and don’t care about your availability. They’ll make you a part time employee and schedule you just below 40 hours so they don’t have to give you full time title or benefits. They treat their good hardworking employees like trash and management likes to blame their mistakes on employees to make themselves look better. Lots of favoritism. Horrible work environment and extremely low morale. 

I do not recommend this job for anybody that loves their sanity I was a GM general Manager the workload is unreal astronomical if you're not committed to working 24 hours a day 7 days a week there's no way one person can do this position there is no work home balance and you do not have the support or backup from upper management you're out on your own and God help you if you make a mistake what's good about it you get to meet new people all the time your job is never the same what's really bad about it is the rules don't apply to everybody there's no structure or stability they don't care who you are all they care about is the bottom line and whether or not you meet that so no I don't recommend Casey's for anybody that has a family or wants a life work balance because I promise you that store will be your life
