Pros

Great people, good pay, excellent ESOP and 401k (retirement plans) and other perks! I have an excellent manager and consider myself incredibly lucky, so work-life balance is a non-issue and I am generally happy in my position.

Cons

Pay grade system could be better, would be nice to have more opportunities to be promoted. Wawa has a strong culture and values, but depending on who you deal with, you question if they employ the same values that the company preaches.

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.
