Pros

The really care for their employees! The wages are fair, although General Managers still need a pay rate change (I heard it was coming soon) and all of the compensation is great too! They offer ESOP (stock), great benefits, a generous 401K, as well as many other extras. Not to mention it is a really fun company to work for. Wawa is growing fast, but it has a corporate focus on continuing to maintain a small company closeness. You can also get promoted pretty quickly.

Cons

As a general manager, you can be compensated better. There were times that I made more as an AGM. Also, there are some very old school mentality managers that are more hurtful then helpful to their stores. Some managers will make you feel bad for using your vacation time.

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.
