Wawa reviews

In Virginia it seems WAWA hires from outside for Upper Management, not real good at cultivating talent from the inside. Several people at my store want to move up and get promoted but the mentoring is not there. Only a few know how to mentor. The people we keep getting are from outside. I have been with WAWA almost 2 years as CSA and my current GM has been with WAWA for 8 months. Seems like a disconnect somewhere.

We open new stores without the proper amount of associates to handle a Grand Opening If you work in the deli you will be over worked and expected to do three times the work of someone working the register area. Managers are hardly ever scheduled during the peak times. Managers retreat to the office to do paperwork during lunch. Managers cheat the speed of service scoring by printing tickets and make the food off of those tickets to cheat the time to look better on paper during their shifts. During training the management pretended to be building a family but once grand opening was done and they used the new employees they cut hours across the board. They throw around how they value you, but it is inconsistent. Breaks are a fluke unless you smoke. They brought down seasoned Wawa people to Florida but they were not qualified to handle the stress of how busy it is. Poor selectors of talent. When the deli is busy, the managers ring the register because it is a easy task.
