Flying J Employer Reviews

I really enjoyed working for Flying J's even though my employment there was short. I especially loved the contact with customers. Customer service is my specialty so this job came easy. On the subject of challenges it was really about serving the customer quickly and efficiently. I must admit I learned all my daily tasks in just about three days of – more... training and built my speed significantly. The management was outstanding and I would take the position up again if given the opportunity. – less

My typical day at work was very fast paced and fun.
I learn how to work as a team and also by myself, i also learned how to cook different find of full course meals. My co-workers that I worked with day to day where fun to work with. They also taught me things in diferent areas of the kitchen such as dishwashing, QSR, line cooking, etc. There was no – more... hard part of my job. The most enjoyable part of my job was the fact that I provided food that the customers loved to eat and they would come back time and time again for the food that i would cook. I would love to come and work for the Flying J again. I can honestly say that it was the best job that I have ever had. – less

Flying J was a great place to work at. Not only did employees get free meals but hours and schedules were pretty consistant.

The people is in management are good people they know how important family is and the customers are good to work with.

I enjoyed working there at first. Later on it got harder to work there management just didn't seem to care who worked and who didn't. If you worked they would ride you into the ground if you didn't they didn't really care. I think part of that was they were being bought out by Pilot. But when i first started i really enjoyed it had a good time made – more... good friends that made me better at being a cook. – less

Meeting new people was an amazing thing. Management at time was difficult, the place has now been turned into a Denny's with new management!

Make sure that your area was stocked and cleaned, waited on any customers that came in, took orders and took them their food cleaned table off when needed, then took their money and wished them a good day. I learned how to be very polite and wait on the customer to the best of my ablity. The management was great, they were always there to help when – more... needed. Coworkers were great. Everyone got alone. Hardest part was not being able to help all customers when busy. Most enjoyable part was working with the customers and employees – less

THE EARLY 75 MILES DRIVE SIX DAYS A WEEK FOR 17 YEARS TO WYTHEVILLE, VA WAS A TIME TO REFLECT AND ENJOY GOD'S CREATION AND PLAN MY DAILY WORK ACTIVITY. MY FELLOW ASSOCIATES WERE MEMBERS OF MY EXTENDED FAMILY. WE BUILT A PROFIT CENTER TOGETHER
AND SHARED GOALS & ASPIRATIONS, SUCCESSES & FAILURES. LOSING ASSOCIATE MANAGERS DUE TO A PROMOTION WAS ALWAYS – more... A HAPPY TIME TO CELEBRATE
AND ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO TRAIN REPLACEMENTS AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO MOVE UP THE LADDER. – less

crew knew what to do and what cleaning needed to be done.fun place to be.worked indoors and out.

This was a good company to work for. Treated employees fairly.

When I start my day at work, I deal with all type of people all day long. So you have to be helpful and happy with them. I deal with Truck drivers and fuel customers and General people all day.

I learn something new everyday with the differnt transactions that I do with the customers. My co-works are alot of fun I trained them so I give the best of – more... me so they are the best when they are ready to be on there own. The hardest part of my job sometimes is really nothing. Once I got the system down I was off and running.. The enjoyable part is when the drivers know who u are .. They speak to you.. That makes my day all the time. – less

What can I say? The company was excellent to work for while it was owned and operated by Flying J alone and managed out of Ogden, UT. After filing for chapter 13 bankruptcy, Pilot Oil, Inc seized the opportunity to purchase the failing company. Once this was allowed by our fail-safe court system in this country, the company quickly changed for the worse.

I waitressed at the Flying J through school. I became close with some of my customers and they would regularly come and sit in my section. I liked the fast pace it would always make my shift go by fast. It was a good place to start out but I didn't want to work in the restuart business all my life.

This was a hard place to work at cause we where open 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. Which i did learn how to deal with having a family and having a family at work as well. Our management team was a great one. With the co workers they where not just workers they became family because we all spent alot of time together at work. The hardest – more... part was working on special days like easter but you learn after a few years you can only be in one place at a time and your kids learn to understand if you don't work they don't eat. The most enjoyable thing about working at a place like this was you had truck drivers that would call a head of time to find out if you where working or not and that meant they made a special stop there just to have you waite on them. – less

fun, fast paced environment. I was able to learn alot. Such a large influx of customers made this job a great place to work.

A typical day at work is tough, you come in and immediately, if you're on maintenance, begin cleaning showers. The morning guys don't have much time as they are the repair people. In this job, you learn everything from cleaning, to landscaping and other general things that involve repair jobs. The management has changed dramatically. They don't do great – more... interviews and one manager can be quite sexist.
The coworkers are great people to be around, but they lack a quick hand, it really becomes a team oriented place by the simple fact of how busy it is. The hardest part is keeping up with hundreds of people in one day and making it their, "home away from home." – less

This was a very fast paced environment. Always a new experience. Worked with great people.

Every day had a different story to tell, I found out that people serving in retail has to have a high tolerance to accept actions from customers. Yet, it was well worth it. Employee's are no different they want to get paid but, do as little work as possible to get it.

got hurt they would not give me my job back with a slight change that I could not lift 50 lbs any longer

Here at Pilot I am Shift Lead Manager, on a daily basis I deal with Diesel fuel transactions for drivers consisting of payments through corporate checks or cash. I also handle regular fueling customers as well, my day also consists of completing Western Union transactions, cleaning showers for drivers, closing shift preparing paperwork and deposits.
