Jubitz received 2021 Top Workplaces recognition from The Oregonian for its fourth straight year. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey. The anonymous survey is administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage, LLC. The data uniquely measures 15 drivers of engaged cultures that are the key to the success of any organization. Attributes include pay and benefits to company values, productivity and leadership.
Jubitz is consistently ranked as one of the best truck stops in America and was once named the “World’s Classiest Truck Stop” by the Fox Travel Channel. Providing World Class Customer Experiences (WCCE) in all of our business dealings is not just what we do, it’s who we are. Through our WCCE Comment Card Program, our WCCE Cash Incentives, and our WCCE Champions Program, our WCCE culture has become a thriving employee-driven effort to take care of our customers and make this THE place to do business—over and over again.
“They treat you like an equal”
Mark Jones, a Gas Station Attendant, began his career with Jubitz in December of 2020. He said, “I’ve had many jobs before, and this is the first one where I love the people and where they treat you like an equal. It’s a special place.” Not only does Jubitz take care of you as an employee, but they look for personal opportunities as well. Mark shared he had issues with his car and, “Jubitz helped me cover the cost of my deductible. It really is a place where, ‘if you take care of the business, they’ll take care of you.’”
Mark, who shared he’s 58, says he hopes to retire with the company. He appreciates that “There’s room for growth in every department. Jubitz wants you to work here and stay here. You can’t beat it.”
“Jubitz wants you to grow as a person”
Michelle Clark, a Customer Service Account Specialist, began her career at Jubitz in March of 2011. She started out as a Server in the Cascade Grill, went on to be a Lead, and eventually became the Assistant Manager. She shared, “It’s not always an option to have good benefits and opportunities for advancement in the food and beverage industry, but it is at Jubitz.”
When the pandemic curtailed her work in the hospitality arena, Jubitz helped her explore new job opportunities within the company. She recently moved into the Fleet Services department and joined the Customer Service team. “I would never have been able to do this at a different company. It’s a huge opportunity and I’ll forever be thankful for. Jubitz wants you to grow as a person and it’s apparent that they’re rooting for you. Everybody can give you an instance where Jubitz has gone above and beyond to show they care about you and that they’re here to help. People are engaged with each other and happy to be here and working together.”
Jubitz strives to offer a true team environment where everyone’s contributions are recognized, from cashier to CEO. Employees receive cash incentives, training and career development opportunities and awards for going above and beyond. In turn, their dedicated employees offer a World Class Customer Experience (WCCE) to every customer who walks in the door. Jubitz provides full-time employees with access to medical, dental and vision insurance. The benefits only get better with free disability insurance, free group term life insurance and a free Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is all in addition to paid time off (PTO), a 401k retirement plan and employee meal discounts.

Spread Holiday Cheer and Shop LocalMany businesses in Portland, Oregon, and nationwide, are facing challenges this year. One way to help these local businesses is to continue to support them — even when they must change their hours or alter their operations in other ways. Supporting these small and local companies and restaurants allows these organizations to keep their employees, continue operations and have hope for a brighter future.
Portland has numerous local companies and restaurants that are struggling this year. Instead of the usual packed stores, catered holiday gatherings and holiday markets, there are closed doors. Thankfully, there are still many ways to contribute to the local economy and keep Portland’s unique city-offerings alive. Many organizations have banded together and used strength in numbers to promote themselves and their products and receive support from others tasked with similar struggles. Travel Portland has published a list of attractions that feature many of these grassroots groups who are hosting outdoor window-shopping events and virtual marketplaces. It also has safety suggestions for those who choose to do in-person shopping.
Another way folks are sticking together is through the use of social media. People are staying connected by using hashtags on posts to find friends, community and businesses to support. Streaming live events has also gained popularity. Everything from concerts to bingo to dance parties are taking place in peoples’ living rooms. Other organizations are finding ways to bring experiences to life via drive-thru! In Portland, the Oregon Zoo is hosting its annual ZooLights celebration for view from the comfort of your car. Drive-thru isn’t just for restaurants anymore although many places are pivoting to offer take-out and partnering with delivery services.
Here at Jubitz, we’re keeping the season’s traditions going by adapting to the times too. The Cascade Grill is currently taking reservations for a home-style, fresh take-out Christmas Dinner meal on December 25th. These individual dinners allow you to still get a taste of tradition without eating leftovers for weeks on end. We’re also open seven days a week for take-out, curbside delivery and delivery via Uber Eats and GrubHub.
The holidays will look different for many people, but it doesn’t have to be a sad or lonely season. You can still take care of yourself by doing things like ordering meals to-go, calling or video chatting with loved ones, sending snail mail to friends and so much more.
Jubitz’s annual Driver Appreciation Day took place this past Wednesday outside of the Cascade Grill. Truckers that came to the event with their Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) received a free lunch, swag bags and the same WCCE hospitality that has earned Jubitz their title as “World’s Classiest Truck Stop.”
Despite the challenges that COVID-19 (and a bit of rain) brought to the table, we put together what we hope was a memorable and sincere gesture for truck drivers. Large tents were propped up outdoors to allow for adequate social distancing.
As a travel center that has grown exponentially over the years, our workforce and customers have also grown to be incredibly diverse. We got a chance to hear individual driver’s experiences on the road, and in return shared to them why they’re so important to our economy. Here are just some of the reasons that our employees appreciate truck drivers…
“They are the underappreciated, under-recognized backbone of society and human culture to this day – not just in America, but globally. We rely on drivers with taking on the arduous task of ensuring companies keep moving and people continue to go about their daily lives unhindered. Since I was a little kid I always (and still do) look up to them as the backstage heroes; keeping the lights on. This is why I truly appreciate drivers.”
“Truck drivers bring us everything, everything that we eat, everything that keeps us entertained, everything has been on a truck at some point. Without truck drivers we wouldn’t have anything. Drivers are essential.”

“In times of great change, it is more important than ever to maintain a connection among employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges. You shape your path forward based on real-time insights into what works best for your organization. The Top Workplaces program can be that positive outcome your company can rally around in the coming months to celebrate leadership and the importance of maintaining an employee-focused culture, even during challenging times.”
According to Chief Operating Officer Mark Gram, “The Jubitz family and Jubitz management team feel strongly about valuing and validating its employees. We make efforts to communicate often and to keep our employees safe and well. It is best exemplified in one employee’s words: ‘Thank you for taking measures to keep us safe, employed, strong and united.’ This is especially true during these last 7 months.”
Jubitz prioritized employee safety and wellbeing from the beginning of the pandemic. We’ve taken measures like installing plexiglass shields, providing masks for customers and employees and being flexible with employees who have faced obstacles like lack of childcare.
