It was ok

Cashier (Former Employee) - West Wendover, NV - February 6, 2023

Not the best pay. Was younger and didn’t think too much of it. Most coworkers were also younger and so no one took their jobs there very seriously. Beginners job

Terrible Employer

Maintenance/Janitorial (Former Employee) - Hebron, OH - February 5, 2023

Took about 30 days on the job to realize this company is the worst place I've ever worked in my 50 years in the workforce. GM are young and inexperienced in travel center operations and how to build a solid team of people dedicated to doing a great job. Instead, they worry about their performance bonuses and focus on minor details of the store and overlook far more important issues. And if you are someone who has experience and wants to help don't bother offering suggestions. They will be completely ignored, surprisingly even when it's a proven method or procedure used widely by other Pilot Travel Centers. Executives are primarily responsible because this is evidence of little to no training, particularly management skills, offered to newly placed GM's. My advice is to go elsewhere for employment.

Okay place

Deli Associate (Current Employee) - Sioux Falls, SD - February 5, 2023

The people are okay and depends on who you with with, it can be fun. But always low on stuff and stuff always breaks. They also show favoritism and never want to put money into having nicer things.

Do not work here

Shift Leader/Cashier (Former Employee) - Rotterdam, NY - February 3, 2023

This place is horrible to work at. You tell them you can work anything but overnight. Then tell you after 3 months that you have to go to overnight or no longer have a job so I took the overnight shifts. Had a death in the family asked for one day to go to the funeral and was told that if I didn’t not come to work I was fired so I didn’t even get to go to say the final good my to my mother in law.

Pros

Nothing

Cons

Nothing at the store or around

General Restaurant Manager (Former Employee) - Weed, CA - January 27, 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?You can always work more hours.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Each worker is responsible for too much, including every worker no matter what position including food service has to go clean the customer bathrooms five times a day.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Very transient employees that don't tend to stay long at all. You can barely find somebody that has been there at all for 2 years.What is a typical day like for you at the company?Very likely to be called in early and expected to stay late. Like I said you clean the customer bathroom five times a shift. A lot of customers from different cultures which actually I enjoyed, but some other staff do not. It is like working in a little city considering truck drivers live out of the truck stops. There are customer showers, laundry room, and usually a TV room.

Just don't

Sales rep (Former Employee) - Pyote tx - January 24, 2023

Short staffed due to poor management, and lack of work ethic employees. Management talks to you anyway they want to with no repercussions from higher ups. Don't go out of your way to help because then it's expected ALL the time. Don't work nights management is even worse.

Pros

Free lunch

Cons

Management

I loved it

Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Big Springs, NE - January 23, 2023

I tried to keep to myself most of the time but there was a lot of personal drama and issues between Chiefs and Indians. I was expected to train in 4 different areas and cover the areas that were short staffed. There are never enough good employees here to keep things running smooth.

Pros

Free food, fast paced, easy to catch on

Cons

Short breaks, bad pay, drama, unrealistic expectations

not giving full time hours even though your a full time employee

Deli Associate (Current Employee) - orange,texas - January 21, 2023

the pay isnt enough. could use a dollar or two raise. And not full time hours that your suppost to recieve. and deseptive with there answers to questions you may ask? like are they really selling the company and is that affecting are hours or is it really them working us twice as hard and cutting hours so that they can get there bonuses? I enjoy working with most of my coworkers. but like i said its a lot of work for the pay and need more workers on evening shifts. they tend to have to much help during the day and none at night.

Pros

free lunches, paid weekly

Cons

not 40 hour week, no steady schedule, boss doesnt cover weekend shifts if needed or evenings.
