"The previous statement is true. Do not work for Vista Stas Romko companies. I was not paid for my tenure, and when I announced my resignation, I was terminated for cause."

"I worked at this company for one term and didn't notice any payment issues. I liked the logistics, and they were always kind to me. However, when I damaged a wheel during unloading, they charged me €250 and took a long time to resolve the situation, even requiring me to bring the wheel to their garage. I drove for two weeks without a spare. Otherwise, it was as expected. I've been driving in Europe for 16 years, and I'll return after settling my personal matters."

"I'm writing this review not to disparage the company, but to warn other drivers. I completed one tour and have never seen such chaos, even after 6 years in Europe. Trucks often stand for weeks without fuel. I drove to loading with an empty fuel tank through the mountains. Refueling 50 liters of diesel and 10 liters of AdBlue is normal. Gas stations are in such places that cars can't even enter. You can't ask about payment here. They will give you as much money as they want. They give 100, 200, or a maximum of 500 euros. Salary debts are astronomical, reaching 7-8 thousand euros. If you remind them or don't want to work, you're a terrorist. There have been cases of drivers being thrown out of the cab. They are constantly hiring drivers. If you want to work for free, go to Vista and its branches. The office is located on Horodotska in Lviv."

"The pay is minimal, often paid partially in cash, with tax returns required in cash. Payments are frequently late, and the last salary hasn't been paid. There's rude and demeaning treatment of employees, including verbal abuse. Management's response to drivers is insulting. Accounting handles five companies plus a Polish branch. There are issues with tax payments and fuel card debt. Drivers are responsible for repairs and face threats and deductions. Documents are withheld, and drivers are pressured to use outdated or fake certifications. Insurance is minimal, and parking/toll fees aren't reimbursed. Loading is arranged through Hegelmann."

"I called to inquire about a job, and the HR manager was incredibly rude and dismissive. They refused to discuss the job details or salary, which suggests a very poor working environment. I would not recommend this company to anyone."

"Consistent and significant delays in pay are not disclosed during hiring. Taras Dadchak, the manager, has a questionable background (research his online record for details). The company operates multiple related businesses with shared accounting, leading to similar payment delays. The accountant, Lilia, consistently finds excuses to postpone salary payments. Vista sp.z o.o, Vista UP, Vista Plus, Chaba sp.z o.o., Romko sp.z.o.o, and Vitkat are all managed by Taras."

"I'm shocked by these reviews. I worked there for 1.5 years during the pandemic and knew the boss personally; he's a great guy and helped me through some difficult times. He always keeps his word. There were occasional payment delays, but they were always resolved. It would be better to focus on the positives. During my time, logistics was always in contact and helpful, and mechanics were readily available. We worked in Ukraine and Poland, and I wonder if that's still the case."

"Having worked here for over four years, I've experienced ups and downs, including a challenging situation that the manager resolved for a fee. Despite others advising me to leave, I now own my own company and have a truck and trailer from Vista through a loan. I continue to work with them and appreciate the opportunities they've provided, which have significantly helped my career."

"There's no diesel fuel available, and if you have a tire blowout, it can take two to three days to resolve. Getting paid is extremely slow, and the pay is minimal because the company is trying to scam everyone by selling generators from Poland."

"I worked at this company two years ago and never received my final paycheck. The owner and manager Taras D., his wife Lilia, and his associate Illia are scammers! More than ten drivers were fired during and after my employment, all without being paid for their last runs. They lay off the entire office staff in Lviv every year, of course without paying their salaries. They were throwing garbage at us. After my termination, they began providing my data to German and Polish inspection agencies regarding traffic violations, speeding tickets, and parking fines, with Taras himself appearing in some photos driving. I filed complaints with the police in Germany and Poland regarding the fines, which is why Taras no longer travels abroad, fearing arrest. A lawsuit has been filed in Pere myshl regarding unpaid wages, and the proceedings have been ongoing for two years as Taras' lawyers forge financial documents and signatures. Two liars, Nazar and Illia, came to court to testify that they saw Tar"

"This company is terrible. Everything negative mentioned in other reviews is true. Do not work here; I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. It's a dreadful experience, and you'll lose money."

"The company failed to pay the last salary. The owner, Taras, is unprofessional. The pay is off the books, and no taxes are paid. There are no payments for border shifts."
