Recent actions like an across-the-board wage increase, credit for past service for returning employees, and recognition for acts of peer-to-peer kindness contribute to the convenience chain’s “second family” culture. After one location’s area had a water crisis, “the company paid for a hotel room in a nearby town … so that employees and their families could get clean water to shower with. They also donated bottles of water for us. That was just so awesome to me.”
