Pros

Starting salary- yet minimal/no raise

Cons

I worked at Wawa for 4 years and was beyond grateful when I quit. I've promised myself to never work for this company again. The work load was too much to squeeze in 1 shift. Employees were often "talked to" by management if they weren't keeping up with the pace. Frequent discouraging visits from corporate. Management make the work load and environment far too stressful. After leaving this job I've had 2 other jobs that pay well and treat me fairly. My current jobs have further proven to me how terrible of a business wawa is. Managers constantly complained that their work load was too much, just as regular employees complained the same. You can never ACTUALLY be sick and call off work or you'll get the cold shoulder and accused of lying! Customers constantly treat employees terribly but management will always defend the customer because that is all corporate cares about. Wawa presents the idea that all workers are "family" but quickly transfer workers when employees become too close. I will never work there again!

Pros

Fantastic health and customer service standards If you have a good management team, everything goes smoothly and even when it doesn't they help you handle it If you negotiate pay before being officially hired, they are willing to negotiate Opportunity for growth Affordable benefits that are actually good

Cons

A LOT is expected from you, and if you don't negotiate for higher pay before being hired, or at the time of promotion, it can feel like you're being underpaid for sure. Just because you are on the same level as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean you will receive the same pay rate
