Pros

You meet some really interesting people, and make some good friends. Free coffee is a plus.

Cons

Management is HORRIBLE. No support, No Communication. They stray severely far away from companies "Core Values." Favoritism is played in our store. Management only pays attention to "the favorites". I've been working here a year and am just now getting trained to actually do my job, however people who have been here less than 6 months are being trained to reconcile register tills by the IMM.... I thought that was a job for management.. Hours are always inconsistent, and your availability is completely ignored, OR it's looked at and scheduled in a spiteful way. Lot's of drama, and gossip circulating the store. Can't trust anyone. High turn around in our store, always new faces, ALWAYS new management. Store never stocked. Basic things like forks and cup holders run out. Our store is infested with fruit flies, again.. management doesn't care. Shift managers play on cell phones all night, and threaten to kick paying customers out of the store, because they don't like their attitudes. Welcome to retail. No work ethic at all. Maybe it's just our store, but I doubt it. "Employee of the Month" is picked and fixed by management. I personally have been voted in twice, but management (doesn't like me) picked other people (whom... go figure .. are FAVORITES) to be employee of the month holders. Rude, sarcastic comments, demeaning attitude and oppressive atmosphere served up by general manager. Always makes wawa the first place i want to run to. Not.

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!!!
