Pros

You pretty much get for what you are willing to put in. If you are reliable and follow corporate policies and procedures . A current career development plan is mandatory of all levels of management and is reviewed by your supervisor frequently. Wawa offers computer or on site courses as well as tuition reimbursement to help you reach your goals. Good pay , bonuses, ESOP and more benefits.

Cons

High volume of customers. Long periods of standing. Heavy workload, multi-tasking is required. Must be available at all times especially during inclement weather. Lack of managerial support, gossip and favoritism

Pros

(Depending on your manager) you can take the tasks at your own pace and do what feels best, based on what you see. The position I'm in allows headphone use if you're not visible to customers.

Cons

Skeletal shifts are the norm, employee burnout is rampant and unaddressed. Manager turnover is very high at my store, which makes establishing consistency impossible. I get the impression that the conditions for employees vary greatly by store. That said, if you find yourself stuck at a rougher one, your options are to either take the toll to your physical and mental health, or to quit/transfer to a better store. I have personally experienced many legal violations at my place of employment. (keeping the store open and functioning when the workers don't have a bathroom [OSHA fixed that]) (and a few incidents where hours were not properly entered for employees, causing them to work without pay) I have worked here for 4 years without benefits, one year only missing the hour-cutoff for it by an average of 20 minutes. Consistent schedules are very uncommon for employees.
