Pros

Compensation is better than at a lot of other places.

Cons

Compensation still isn't fair for the crazy workload. Not all Wawas are created equally - one store might be great and the other might be crap, and they all get the same treatment/policies. They give you the hours they want to give you, and assign you the shifts they want to assign you. They talk a lot about "promotion from within" but very little of this actually gets done. Too many managers - five or more per store, none of whom have the same policies or agree on the same things. You're left to gather your own information and knowledge from sporadic sources. No real complaint system without fear of retaliation. No praise or thanks, only criticism. You never know where you stand - managers always act like you can be fired at any moment. It's definitely a "who-you-know" place - some associates get away with things I couldn't even dare to think of.

Pros

Extensive training, Great Pay, Great Benefits, for those that are hardworking, and retain a good attitude.

Cons

Life /work balance, (IT is a 24 hour a day job. Some area managers are not fair and equitable with spreading the talented junior managers out to the stores evenly. Always want more more more,never satisfied with a completed assignment. Usually doing your bosses work and your own if your are fairly competent.
