Pros

Benefits are good if you plan to make Wawa your career

Cons

Worked to the bone Treated like a slave by both customers and management. Pay is not worth the stress. Hire drug addicts and morons. Blame you for every mistake. Upper management does nothing. Only lower level employees are held to high standards.

Pros

Decent Starting Salary....hourly but you always got 40hrs a week. Co-workers are all mostly friendly and helpful. Work isn't hard, and typically things run smoothly every day at work. Training is tedious but they will teach you nearly everything you need to know. Great benefits once you've worked their some time like bonus's on store sales and top notch employee stock option program.

Cons

Customers can really suck, but you should expect that in retail. In this program a lot of managers in stores won't like you because your getting "preferential treatment." They view you as a threat and don't think 4 years in college is comparable to having to work to be promoted (sometimes 4 years in the stores) If a manger has it out for you, change stores before it is too late... and SOME managers make the same schedule every week. Meaning never having a single weekend day off. Some creativity would have been nice to see revolving managers on weekends rather than the same two managers working the same weekend month to month. This however wasn't the case in all stores, so change before it's too late. Once your on a managers bad side start your job search, won't be long before they run you out of the company.

One of the worst companies to work for.

Pros

Weekly paycheck. Free drinks while you are on the clock.

Cons

If you want to advance, you need to be in the "click". They play many stall tactics to hold you back from interviews for promotion. They make a mockery of their own core values but expect you to adhere to them. Majority of the Area Managers and General Managers are two-faced. They will talk about you behind your back and to other employees about personal information.
