Pros

Starting salary- yet minimal/no raise

Cons

I worked at Wawa for 4 years and was beyond grateful when I quit. I've promised myself to never work for this company again. The work load was too much to squeeze in 1 shift. Employees were often "talked to" by management if they weren't keeping up with the pace. Frequent discouraging visits from corporate. Management make the work load and environment far too stressful. After leaving this job I've had 2 other jobs that pay well and treat me fairly. My current jobs have further proven to me how terrible of a business wawa is. Managers constantly complained that their work load was too much, just as regular employees complained the same. You can never ACTUALLY be sick and call off work or you'll get the cold shoulder and accused of lying! Customers constantly treat employees terribly but management will always defend the customer because that is all corporate cares about. Wawa presents the idea that all workers are "family" but quickly transfer workers when employees become too close. I will never work there again!

Pros

As a supervisor you can control the work environment to the best of your ability to make the store a great place to be for customers/coworkers. Pay is at a decent starting level for the position.

Cons

Basic Associates only accrue PTO creating issues with Work/Life balance unless you've made it a long time without needing to take a day. Attendance Point System is unforgiving without readily available PTO. As management differs between stores experiences may vary.
