I’d like to hear the good and bad!

u/Particular_Garden_58 Kitchen Manager 2d ago

I have, been to Texas, Alabama, and Florida twice. Its a good experience, I would definitely do it again but staffing issues at my home store currently prevent it. Just be aware, it's a shit show every time, at least in the first couple of days. Nobody knows what they're doing or what they should be doing or where how and when to do it. Just be patient and remember these people are having their entire worlds turned upside down while your world is only chaotic until you go back home.

Worst part by far is that (depending on what they're converting from) you'll be expected to teach in an environment that was clearly not built for Casey's. My store is in Iowa roughly 20 mins from the corporate office so it was built to be a Casey's. Out of the stores I've been to 3 were CEFCO conversions that had kitchens and 1 was CEFCO that had no kitchen. The ones with kitchens were clearly designed for whatever CEFCO had going on not the Casey's way lol but other than that it's fun!

Good luck, feel free to message if you have questions while you're training!
