Pros

Wawa's upper management models the company values and enables everyone else to do the same. We have a great benefit package which includes ample personal time. Opportunities to advance quickly. Stock ownership. Servant Leadership at it's best. I love my job. Turnover is very low because so many people love the job also.

Cons

Not all managers are on the same page but I do see the forward movement to get everyone there. Servant Leadership needs to be practiced on every level.

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.
