Wawa reviews

We open new stores without the proper amount of associates to handle a Grand Opening If you work in the deli you will be over worked and expected to do three times the work of someone working the register area. Managers are hardly ever scheduled during the peak times. Managers retreat to the office to do paperwork during lunch. Managers cheat the speed of service scoring by printing tickets and make the food off of those tickets to cheat the time to look better on paper during their shifts. During training the management pretended to be building a family but once grand opening was done and they used the new employees they cut hours across the board. They throw around how they value you, but it is inconsistent. Breaks are a fluke unless you smoke. They brought down seasoned Wawa people to Florida but they were not qualified to handle the stress of how busy it is. Poor selectors of talent. When the deli is busy, the managers ring the register because it is a easy task.

You really don't get breaks. I worked straight 7 and 8 hour shifts and got the equivalent of two five minute breaks a day. My store was always understaffed, and any time I was given a break, 5 minutes in I was called back to the register. The only people who got any decent kind of break were the smokers who needed 10 minute cigarette breaks twice a day. It was ridiculous. When you are a cashier there you do not even get time to breathe if your store is busy. For 8.50 and hour it's not worth it. Also they do not give out checks, so if you do not have direct deposit with your bank you are stuck with a pay card that has ridiculous atm fees.
