Pros

Wawa has so much to offer for leaders. Compensation and responsiblities are right in line (above industry comparables), and the autonomy with the role is very rewarding. There is a genuine fulfillment with your ability to develop others and realize your potential for leadership. The scope of decision making is in line with Director level roles elsewhere.

Cons

Performance is determined explicitly with metrics and on-paper results. Behavioral leadership is necessary and appreciated, but if you have a tough market, you will not feel like you're winning at times.

Company Culture & Values

Pros

Wawa’s company culture and values are truly best in class. I’ve worked for several companies in similar roles, and none of them match the culture or live out their values the way Wawa does. Here, it’s not just words — the company leads with action. There is no better place to work.

Cons

There are no cons. This company truly has a people-first culture.

Pros

Benefits and ESOP are good.

Cons

They expect one person to do the job of 3-5 people at once while still meeting cleanliness and safety expectations AND also being fast in all tasks. Breaks can be interrupted at any time unless you're a minor. Wawa used to feel like they cared about their employees and give us things like promotional shirts and merchandise, little things like that boosted morale. Now they are too "corporate" and don't feel like they care enough about in-store associates. Everything feels like a house of cards. Everything has to operate perfectly. If there is a spill or anything, everything gets screwed up. Any little mistake.
