Pros

The location is great. Opportunity for advancement is good and most co-workers are friendly. Flexibility with schedule. Flying J provides free passes for mass transit.

Cons

There are multiple divisions and companies within Flying J, but many employees have NO idea what other departments or divisions do. There is little to no training, or orientation for new employees. The communication between the different companies under Flying J’s umbrella is appalling, it’s like they are competitors. You work for an oil conglomerate, so the better you do the more you help pollute the Earth. There is little research and development for alternative energy; or..... maybe there is, and I just don’t work for that department. Compensation is poor and the benefits are probably some of the worst in the country.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
