Pros

There are many opportunities, great place to grow, paid for my college education, excellent pay for performance, incredible retirement plans, (401K, profit sharing, stock ownership), privately/employee owned company, great people, strong values based culture, strong organizational leadership, met my spouse at Wawa too!

Cons

Can be overly demanding at times due to being a 24/7 operation, constant drive for perfection overshadows accomplishments at times. Sometimes overreacts to short term dips in the business instead of staying focused on doing what has proven to work over 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.
