      More than just a convenience store

      Pros

      Wawa treats its employees well and cultivates a real sense of internal community. A lot of people I met, both at stores and in corporate, had lost track of how long they'd been with the company. People are given work that actually helps the company succeed, and even low level corporate jobs feel important.

      Cons

      Part of the "Wawa is a family" attitude that gets dicey is when someone really just isn't a good fit for the position they're in, but hasn't really broken any rules. I saw a few instances where an employee wasn't right for their job but stayed in it for a while because managers and HR didn't press the issue.

      Pros

      I have worked at Wawa for 7 years. I like some of the local regular customers. I have worked at several stores and I generally like the people I work with and for. Once I was promoted to management I recieved a good pay raise.

      Cons

      The stores are usually in poor neighborhoods leading to some unsavory experiences. Very inconsistant with their teachings they definitely do not practice what they preach. A lot of favoritism and politics go into it. Who you know is crucial. Dead end if you are not apart of the in crowd. Load the work on you the higher up you go.

      Challenging and rewarding career in a fast paced environment.

      Pros

      Interaction with a great customer base. Ability to interact with peers. Great opportunity to develop management skills through workshops and training modules. Very technologically advanced. Constant expansion of store base and product choices.

      Cons

      In its constant quest to capture market share while still controlling costs, Wawa has expanded its offerings of food service products to the point where the labor and facilities needed to support these offerings is no longer in balance. By trying to be everything for everybody Wawa has lost sight of some core values that made the company a leader in convenience retailing. Value People has been contorted to mean value the bottom dollar at the expense of overextending the capabilities of its staff of associates. Do The Right Thing now means pushing more programs and products that increase the profit line but at the expense of associates working in facilities that are poorly set up to accommodate the changes. Do Things Right has completely lost its face value meaning of five years ago in a sea of documentation and unrealistic expectations of its associates.
