Pros

Great benefits. Tuition assistance. There is always room for promotion. The customers make the job worth working. The fellow employees are also always a blast to work with!

Cons

Bad hours. Never know what a schedule is going to be the next week. When a full time manager you can be transferred to another store at any time.

Pros

Wawa is a great place to work as long as you understand the demands of working in retail. I have worked as a manager for several other retailers, and I must say that Wawa treats their associates better than any other retailer that I have worked for. For part time associates the pay is on par if not better than what you will see from other companies. Once you have worked with Wawa for at least a year you are giving company stock each year, and once you have been with the company for seven years you can leave and will be payed out based on the value of your shares. If you have goals and ambition you can definitely advance. Pay for management is much better than I have experienced with other employers, so bottom line is - work hard, and strive for management and you will be generously compensated for your efforts.

Cons

This is a retail environment, and a very busy one at that. Expect to work hard, and sometimes walk away from the job feeling exhausted. Most stores are opened 24 hours, and many are opened 365 days a year, so you can expect to work some shifts that may be less desirable than others - most management will work with your availability, but it is best to keep your availability open. The job can be stressful at times, and in some instances you may have a manager who is less than a perfect fit for the position that they are in. Most managers are reasonable, but as with any company, you are going to come across a few who are over demanding and unreasonable. This is nothing different from any other job in the world - unfortunately it's just the way that it goes.
