Guest Service Lead 2 (Former Employee) – Bakersfield, CA – January 17, 2019
What ever position you are in you must work quickly. This is a busy company and you must be able to efficiently and safely throughout the day while maintaining a professional demeanour.
Horrible pay

Don’t work here. Not a good place to work
Retail Cashier (Former Employee) – Tucson, AZ – January 12, 2019
I worked at pilot in Tucson, and what I can tell you is to run for your life. At first you’re treated well, but once you’re there long enough, the GM, and some of the team members show their true colors. There is a reason why they’re hiring so many people right now. People quitting left and right because there’s way too many problems, way too much drama, and the GM does not care, and will not listen to you. In fact, you’ll get treated like you’re stupid. Favoritism goes a long way in that store, so if you’re lazy, but you’re a favorite, you’ll get away with anything and everything. If you work hard and go out of your way, but you’re not a favorite, you get treated terribly. The team members are very competitive so if you get recognized by management, certain members of that team will try to sabotage you. They’ll even outright lie about you just to try and get you in trouble, and you’ll most likely end up in trouble if the person who lied is a favorite. They expect you to go above and beyond for low wages. You won’t get paid enough to put up with the problems. If Management does not like you, they’ll mess with you on purpose to make you mad. Not so much the lower management as the GM. I don’t know how the GM still works there. I’m glad I quit working there. The store is run horribly. You have been warned. Good luck!
Pros
Discounted lunch, free drinks on shift
Cons
The GM is horrible, short breaks, favoritism, read my review.
The pilot was a great job and i am going to miss it.
Shift Lead (Former Employee) – Dublin, Ga – January 11, 2019
The pilot was a high volume , customer oriented job. This was a great experiance, and a learned a lot about dealing with co-workers and customer complaints.
Pros
Great working atmosphere
Cons
Company policies are not clearly explained
The truck care program is a joke
Commercial Truck Location Lead - Location Manager (Former Employee) – Oak Creek, WI – January 11, 2019
Pilot Truck Care is largely a joke. The program wasn't thought through and is run on a catch as catch can basis. They over promised and under delivered. This might be the worst place I ever worked. After spending a year there and pushing everything else in my life aside and damaging my health they shut down my location (along with a slew of others) the DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS anyway. Perhaps if they had lent ANY reasonable amount of help in launching the program and made ANY effort towards its promotion and implementation the program might have worked. Instead, they pushed the blame off on the people at the location. A classic example of a company using and throwing people away like garbage. From what I've seen they have a revolving door as far as employees go, and with good reason
A Lot of Work
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Greeneville, TN – January 10, 2019
People would try to help you. If someone did not come in you would be told to stay till the next available worker showed up. You had to work mainly by yourself management could not be bothered to tell you what to do. If they saw you did not do something they wanted they would tell you. I did not know I was supposed to stock items all over the store till the night manager had me do it. Days when buses came in were very hectic.
This job was enjoyable
Diesel Cashier (Former Employee) – Madera, CA – January 9, 2019
I enjoyed this job because I enjoy working fast paced jobs. We worked as a team and there were always customers to serve at this job. I learned the importance of efficiency and punctuality at this job. The clientele was diverse so I learned the importance of respecting the needs of our clients, as they are usually traveling from afar, its important to serve the customer as best one can in the short time available to not only make that lasting first impression but to genuinely serve the customer. The hardest part of the job is working under managers who are looking out for their own interests rather than serving the customer or serving their staff.
Pros
gained work experience, meeting people from all over the globe
Cons
Stress from working with unprofessional people
Quick paced work
Maitenance (Former Employee) – Salt Lake City, UT – January 9, 2019
Managment isnt very disciplined, and their lack of motivation hurts future employees. But if your self motivated and a hard worker there is always work to be done.
Pros
Always work to do.
Cons
Under paid for type of hours worked.
I worked there for 4 years
Nigh shift team leader (Former Employee) – San Antonio, TX – January 9, 2019
In the four years I worked there I got treated with disrespect and inappropriate language. If it didn't benefit them they didnt want to hear anything you said. They do not care about your well being
Pros
None
Cons
Hostile work enviroment
Great place to work.
Deli Service Leader (Current Employee) – Texarkana, AR – January 6, 2019
Management is great. Trains proper ways of handling foods, customer service, and proper money handling procedures. Everyone works well together and gets along great.
Pros
Healthcare, wages.
Toxic atmosphere
Fuel hauler (Former Employee) – Pembroke, NY – January 6, 2019
Lead driver / trainer constantly makes racial remarks. Always confrontational .Talks poorly about fellow drivers. Not a team player . Changes attitudes when regional management is around. Very toxic atmosphere due to lead driver/trainer. Upper management aware but does nothing.Not a friendly place to work.
Pros
Money
Cons
Lead driver/trainer
Most of my co-workers are fun to work with, altho their language is foul.
Maintenance/Housekeeping (Current Employee) – Tucson, AZ – January 6, 2019
They advertised $12, altho I have the experience they lowballed me to $ 11. The hours aren't consistent so it's not enough to live on. They don't do drug testing so you're forced to work with people who come to work high and no one in charge says anything altho they know co-workers are high. Some coworkers steal your tips from cleaning showers. Foul language over the radio when GM is not there.
Pros
Discount
Cons
Low wages, not enough hours
A lot to learn
Cashier (Former Employee) – Boonville, MO – January 4, 2019
learned how gas stations work. How to do lottery, big rig fuel transactions. How to get them their weight tickets, send faxes. We got food for them, checked the customers in for showers, even did car fuel trans actions.
Pros
can call in when you REALLY need to.
Cons
flirty truckers
