Working at TravelCenters of America in Westlake, OH: 8 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Westlake, OH Area

"TravelCenters of America is a great place to begin a project management career. They are establishing what the gold standard should be and are working on maintaining it. The workload is sometimes a bit rushed, but that's all in the game of project management. Overall I enjoy the workload and working with many of my coworkers. Where they can improve is in the management team. Several members of the management team use the micro-management style where, at times, it can become overbearing and create a stressful work environment. There also seems to be a "do as I say, not as I do" mentality which creates frustration within the team."

"There is a lot of issues at this location. There were a lot of unprofessional practices and behaviors there. I do not recommend working here due to their high turnover rate."

"Great place to work, good people. Rewriting from many legacy IT systems to modern and maintainable languages."

"When I first started, the company atmosphere was amazing. You were given all of the tools to do your job effectively, and because we had proprietary software, we had to test code, which was fun. The help desk is moving towards script. They are taking the thinking element away from the position. I like to be challenged."
