Scorpio Trans presents a highly polarized employer profile with stark contrasts between positive and negative driver experiences. On the positive side, the company accepts drivers without prior experience and provides training opportunities, with some drivers praising management figures like Shpak Oleksandr and Vadym for mentorship and housing support. However, the overwhelming majority of reviews describe serious financial and labor issues. Drivers report systematic underpayment, with experienced drivers earning only 63-70 EUR per day despite significant mileage (12,000-13,000 km monthly). Multiple reviews cite financial fraud, with drivers claiming the company deducted fuel, parking, and even company fines from wages while falsely recording these as salary payments. Working conditions are described as chaotic, with poor hostel accommodations, management conflicts (particularly complaints about a driver named Vova), and severe staff turnover. Labor inspections reportedly confirmed wage manipulation schemes. Payment reliability is a critical issue, with former employees claiming they were 'thrown off money' and mechanical staff refusing to return personal belongings.
