Travel Centers of America Employer Reviews

Good place to get some experience in the field but terrible place to make a career.

A typical day at Travel Centers was writing up and paying out customers work orders. I learned to work hard and enjoy my job. The management was great and understanding. My co-workers were great and also hardworking. The hardest part of my job was the heavy lifting. The most enjoyable part of my job was meeting different people from all over.

I was the overnight server, so I worked 11pm-7am. During those hours I was in charge of everything because a manager was not on duty. The only person I worked with in the restaraunt was the cook and we got along really well and helped each other with our task. The hardest part of the job was when something came up that was way beyond my authority and – more...  I still had to find someway to resolve it. I loved being around the customers, it was what made work worthwhile I learned that everyone loves a smiling face. – less

The most enjoyable part of job is meeting the new people that come in and out of truck stop.

As a whole TA is a good company but when it comes time to move up i have found it hard to move forward, i am looking for more opportunities and advancements in my career i want to move from working as a mechanic to being someone who makes the calls that makes a company better then the rest.

A typical day would be stocking the shelves and coffee stand and making sure everything is clean and ready for customers at all times, along with running the cash register. I learned a lot about the importance of customer service. The managment was pretty good and the co-workers were very nice.

It was a long day work and I enjoyed working the graveyard by myself.

A typical day at work was mostly busy. We were constantly assisting customers and getting familiar with new policies, procedures, and products. The most important thing I learned was how to be patient and how to interact with others. My co-workers were very outgoing and fun to be around for the most part. The hardest part of my job was keeping the work – more...  area clean; the most enjoyable part was interacting with my customers and getting to know them. – less

I would patrol desinated areas and check in with management. learned how to work on my own called if i needed back up. I had co-workers but, work on my own most of the time. The hardest part of this job was the overnight shifts. The most enjoyable part learning to makes decision.

Would love to work there again. Managemet was great and understood on what was going on. Co-Workers are co-workers lol.

A typical day at that job was frying chicken, making deli sandwiches, cashiering people out, keeping everything clean.

I learned how to cook.

Management was fair.

I only saw other co-workers when I was releiving them or they were releiving me but we were all cordial.

The hardest part of that job was keeping the deli full.

The most enjoyable part – more...  of that job was pretty much being my own boss. – less

Got along great with co-workers however did not like the shift hours.

Do not work at the Troutdale location unless you can handle a high amount of stress/harassment/hostile work environment.

a very busy place, you will keep your self busy, a busy store to maintain

I worked at three different location while employed. I felt comfortable and confident with most managers and spent nearly 11 years with the company. I trained in multiple positions and multiple departments.

I worked for the company and thought that I worked for a much of very immature adults. Dirty place to work, language was vulgar and unprofessional atmosphere.

I enjoyed working for this company at first. I noticed that the management takes alot of personal problems out on their employees at the fast food restraunt. In the dine in restraunt you have great opportunities to get more hours and such things. I was in a situation where I needed to get ahold of Human Resources and all the managers in the building – more...  refused to give it to me. I finally had to go through the book keeper to get it. – less

This was a stable company to work for but there was little to no room for advancement. I was one of the lucky few.

this is the best place to work. it has a nice attitude and you learn to deal with people
