Busy and fast pace
Asst. General Manager (Current Employee), Park, PA –
Pros: meeting new people
Cons: 24 hour business
A typical work day ranges between nine to ten hour work days, work holidays and weekends. Learned how to deal with a variety of people (staff and guest). Three to four managers per store loaction. The hardest part of the job well be learning how to handle the guest and office work. The most enjoyable part would be meeting new people.

Customer Service Associate
Customer Service associate (Former Employee), Trevose, PA –
Pros: discount on food

Fast paced averaging 400-500 customers daily.
Ive learned to be patient with customer who get angry. This is where I first learned that customers are always right,
Co-workers were great

The hardest part of the job was being cross trained. At any given moment you were told to either be on register or be in the deli. and during the busiest times of the – more...  day which were noon. "Lunch" – less

loved it
shift manager (Former Employee), Egg Harbor Township, NJ –
Pros: promote within, incentives, good pay
Cons: ocasionally unprofessional
I worked at wawa for about 2 years. I started as an associate and within 2 months was promoted to shift manager. A typical day at work for me was to come into work at 10:55, count the safe, set up a register and then i would go back to the deli and clean/make customers orders. I was responsible for giving any change needed to the cashier as well as – more...  processing orders. working at wawa is like working with family the employees and managers worked together to make the store the best it could be. The hardest part of the job was having to finish uncompleted tasks left from the shift prior to mine. but i truly enjoyed coming to work every night no matter how difficult the night might be. The only thing i didnt like about my employment with the company is that i got fired by a text message from my assistant manager. – less

Not a great place to work
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Bridgeport, PA –
Wawa, is a great company. But I would not really like to work there again. Management is corrupt and don't care about feelings or outside life what so ever.

Shift Manager (Current Employee), Glenside, Pennsylvania –
Pros: 30% off wawa cooked products on the clock
Cons: short breaks, healthcare, avoid/delay raises, unfair treatment
A typical work day at wawa is fast paced. Coming into work everyday there are always assignments that need to be taken care of that day besides the usual satisfy customers, keeping the store clean and in order, inventory counts shelf facings, replacing tags as prices and products change, During my time at wawa I have learned critical time management, – more...  customer service skills, how to manage a team in a professional atmosphere, Management at wawa is a very closley knit group not only for management but for employees and customers as well, have a open door policy where any problems or concerns are taken care quickly, Hardest part of the job is completing all task assigned while still commiting fully to the customer service aspect, Most enjoyable part of wawa in the personal interaction with customers and employees. – less

Fun company but long hours
General Manager (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA –
This is a fun company to work for and if you are motivated to work hard, you can advance quickly. However, as a manager, you will be working a lot of hours.

Good for customers, poor for management
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia (Former Employee), Assistant General Manager –
Pros: very good pay and benefits
Cons: double-standards, must be part of *in* crowd for advancement
Wawa provides excellent products for customers. Food is great, prices are reasonable. But working for them as a manager left much to be desired. Promotions were often done on the basis of personal interactions, not quality of performance. In some cases, some received promotions because of discrimination. The communication from top to middle management – more...  is poor. Often, things are not properly passed along, yet middle management is held accountable (but it covers upper management by saying middle management was informed, but dropped the ball). – less
