Got driven out by upper management

Pros

Benefits are great. The pay rate was OK. The PTO was by far my favorite. PTO was probably the best plan I've seen at any company.

Cons

Upper management treating people like they are worthless. People getting the short end of the stick because they aren't in the "in" group. If the general manager and an associate are close, the associate will most likely get promoted. There's no equal treatment with upper management. If you and your AGM and GM don't get along you don't survive in the company. Also, there was no balance of work/life balance. My family would be devastated that I would work such weird schedules. At times I would be scheduled 6am-3pm and other times 11am-11pm. Several times I was scheduled 11am-8pm and then come back the next day and work 3am-2pm.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. This is the reason most people stay.. It is impossible to find a job that compares to Wawa's compensation. The free stock and retirement package is amazing!

Cons

You have no personal life if your a manager. Once you are promoted to a fuel store, there's very little room to move up. External hires are paid far more (and they have guaranteed bonuses) than people dedicated to the company for years!! There is no additional pay for working the highest volume, toughest stores. Everything is based on if you achieve your outrageous budget, not on Prior year sales and business growth. If your area manager dislikes you for any reason, you will be unemployed or demoted for certain!!!
