The Most Enjoyable Part of The Job
Cashier and Customer Service (Former Employee) – Midway, FL – September 18, 2018
I really enjoyed dealing with the customers. My day was full of work. I had to make sure we had food stocked all day, make sure work areas were cleaned and neat, sanitized my work stations daily, and etc. The best part of the job was satisfying my customer needs and seeing them leave happy.
If you love your family, this is not the company for you.
Restaurant General Manager (Current Employee) – Philadelphia, PA – September 20, 2018
Terrible life to work balance. If you are single and looking to work yourself to death, this company is for YOU! Required to work at least 50 hours, but you'll end up working more. They are all about supporting the team members but seem to forget that managers are also team members. No support when it comes to helping to staff restaurants up. Impose impossible standards on high volume, short staffed stores.
Pros
Profit Share
Cons
Everything else
Fun, fast paced place to work at
Cashier (Current Employee) – Tonkawa, OK – September 20, 2018
Amazing co workers, amazing customers. Something new everyday, I never dread going into work. This place has been one of the best jobs I have ever worked at. I highly recommend
Fast paced, service oriented performance driven.
Guest Service Leader (Former Employee) – North Charleston, SC – September 20, 2018
Customers are the reason you are scheduled. You are hired to provide superior customer service in a friendly, inconsistent atmosphere. Consistencies are based upon peak sales hours, and therefore dictate the operation day to day. Number one diesel fuel sales in the southeast. Professional driver focused from diesel sales to restrooms to coffee to kitchen. Performers thrive, non performers get wiened out and replaced. Strict adherence to professional experience. This job, minus the pay and the negative examples, was my favorite job I ever worked as a service lead. Pilot was my family, customers and coworkers no difference.
Pros
Dependable
Cons
Stressful, fast paced
Productive and friendly atmosphere
Cashier/Customer Service (Current Employee) – Ionia, MI – September 18, 2018

Fast paced work environment
Cashier and diesel cashier (Former Employee) – Dade City, FL – September 17, 2018
Fun, fast paced work environment. Ability to meet many new people everyday and the chance chance to socialize with them as well. Schedules need more flexibility though.
Not the best but good for a place holder
Maintenance Worker (Current Employee) – Belmont, AZ – September 15, 2018
This isn't a job you want to stay at for a long time, they're having trouble hiring and the pay isn't too great for the work you need to do. low staff but the days can be anywhere from slow to extremely busy
They can be stressful
Deli Worker (Former Employee) – Cheyenne, WY – September 15, 2018
I had seen 4 different GM's in the course of a year and a half. Only one knew what he was doing. The problem was the mentality there as that you need a body to fill the space, however it dint seem to matter if that body never actually did the work, as long as someone was there.
New management is all fot themselves

Cons
unorganized management
Good environment, but demanding
Guest Service Manager (Current Employee) – Crossville, TN – September 12, 2018
Our store was very well maintained and ran, due to being close to corporate. Management works with your schedule and tries to keep employees, but due to our high overturn rate it was hard. Workplace culture was very laid back as long as you got your job done (will vary between stores). The hardest part of the job would be dealing with rude customers, but management will stand behind you if customers get too rowdy. I have recommended Pilot Flying J to many of my friends and they love working here.
Pros
relaxed management, fun activities, great pay/benefits
Cons
time commitment
They treat women poorly
Manager (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN – September 10, 2018
The company treats women terribly. The focus all their resources on developing the men in the company and over look females. They also treat long term employees poorly. It is a terrible place to work with minimal pay. Expected to run with minimal staffing.

Lead Cashier (Current Employee) – Mahwah, NJ – September 9, 2018
Enjoy working here but sometimes feel like i am in high school. Lazy workers are praised while the few hard working employees are chastised and scolded. Otherwise good place to work. If you keep an open mind and ignore drama.

Good people to work with.
Coffee Hostess, kitchen staff (Former Employee) – Bath, NY – September 6, 2018
Fun environment to work in, coworkers and customers were easy to work with. Many interesting customers every day. Could be very fast paced, especially with tourist buses.
Not a career job
Shift Leader (Current Employee) – Gary, IN – September 6, 2018
The job is about politics and doesn't care for the employees. The customers make the job enoyable. Management makes you feel easily replacable. The job taught me better leadership skills and lessons on how to get ahead in the work environment.
