Pros

This company had it TOGETHER-- all training was streamlined& clear. There are many checks&balances--meaning no management could be a dictator--- tthis was BY FAR the best company I have ever worked for. They truly care about their employees *(support for financial troubles, support for health issues). They also have excellent bonuses and you can be quickly promoted. This is NOT a gas station- it's so much more. Wawa is innovative and welcomes ideas and implements changes for the better often. FREE FOOD- not free, but nearly!!-- They be recently added a 50cent/$1/$1.50 menu for their employees. You can get up to 3 items per shift and it's the good stuff too- macncheese, chicken tenders, bagels,hotdogs, select shorti sandwiches.

Cons

If people 'call out' the shift can feel a tad hectic, but management always tried to get someone else to come in to cover the missing person's shift.

Pros

The management was awesome, as long as you communicate with them, they are very accommodating. The employee stock option plan is huge if you're planning to stay with Wawa. I saw a lot of people interested in moving into management advance very quickly.

Cons

Nothing major. It can get busy, and you will occasionally deal with a rude customer.

Pros

(Depending on your manager) you can take the tasks at your own pace and do what feels best, based on what you see. The position I'm in allows headphone use if you're not visible to customers.

Cons

Skeletal shifts are the norm, employee burnout is rampant and unaddressed. Manager turnover is very high at my store, which makes establishing consistency impossible. I get the impression that the conditions for employees vary greatly by store. That said, if you find yourself stuck at a rougher one, your options are to either take the toll to your physical and mental health, or to quit/transfer to a better store. I have personally experienced many legal violations at my place of employment. (keeping the store open and functioning when the workers don't have a bathroom [OSHA fixed that]) (and a few incidents where hours were not properly entered for employees, causing them to work without pay) I have worked here for 4 years without benefits, one year only missing the hour-cutoff for it by an average of 20 minutes. Consistent schedules are very uncommon for employees.
