Steady work flow
Customer Service (Former Employee), Rocky Hill, NJ – May 11, 2013
Pros: customer discount, flexible schedule.
Cons: sometimes short-staffed.
A typical day for me working at Wawa was busy. There was always a steady flow of customers which I enjoyed. I like to keep busy on the job. The hardest part of the job though was unloading the huge truck orders we received every other night. There would only be myself and one other co-worker, so we both had to stock, and take care of customers at the – more... same time. It got a little hectic at times, but I learned a lot of patience working at that job. – less

Busy but fun.
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), Avalon, New Jersey – April 25, 2013
Pros: discounts, pay checks, nice employees
Cons: hottt, too many customers crammed in a small space
I worked at a very busy Wawa during the summer. It was fun, but it takes a special kind of person to deal with heat, tons of customers and a messy store. Wawa is a good place to work, and you get the hang of it real quick. I worked with really nice people and met some too. My favorite thing to do was making smoothies and wrapping brownies/cookies.

Benefits are great if you can deal with the rest of the mess you call Wawa.
Assistant GM (Former Employee), South Jersey – April 18, 2013
Pros: benefits
Cons: short breaks, employee turnover, constant call outs.
After five years of management I was fired for selling 80 sizzlis for a discount of 2 for $3. I realize now that the benefits were some of the greatest around and the management salary was okay. All other aspects were not worth the stress. Upper management does not care unless you are a "good ol' boy". Part timers that have been at Wawa for 20+ years – more... can only earn 11.50 an hour max. There is room for advancement, but you have to work harder than you can imagine to get there. Many times I witnessed part timers that had aspirations of moving into management working hours and hours off the clock to do management's work. Training is lack luster and the customer can be drunk, irate, high, and just have overall bitter attitudes before they have a sip of coffee. That is not to say that some customers weren't great. If you are willing to work your butt off and not see your family most of the time then the benefits will be worth it. – less

Wawa
Cashier/Deli and Food Preparer (Current Employee), Quakertown, PA – April 2, 2013
Pros: paid on break, caring corporate company, oppurtunity for advancement
Cons: gossip, rude customers
Wawa is a good company to work for. You start out at $8.50 an hour and depending on your schedule they will or will not give hours. If you can work with customers then this job is for you. Most employees I know do complain about company gossip. Favortism over other employees at most stores is common.

fun work place
SHIFT MANAGER (Current Employee), dahlgren, VA – March 28, 2013
Pros: discounts in certain food, the people are awesome, nice enviroment.
Cons: don't really get a break depending on how the work place is.
there really isn't a typical day. everyday is a different day and different duties.
I've learned that being a shift manager you have to learn the employees strong and weak points. you learn more about the business and it makes you more alive and passionate about the company
the hardest part about the job would have to be dealing with situations that – more... you have never dealt with before, and trying to handle the situation the way you think is the right way.
the most enjoyable part about the job would be being around alot of different personalities and being around alot of people, because i love people. – less

Horrible Management, and scheduling
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Willow Grove, PA – March 26, 2013
Pros: discount
Cons: low pay, low raises, schedule, management, little to no breaks.
The work environment is comfortable, and relaxed. But the management can't keep thing working correctly. Constant last minute call in's to work, irregular shifts periods, one week you get close to 40 hrs (Never over), and the next week you'll have 12hrs. Managers do not consider the needs of the employees.

Always Busy !!
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee), Mount Laurel, NJ – March 24, 2013
Pros: paycheck
Cons: busy and low paying
It takes a different kind of person to work for a wawa as a career because you work long hours and are forced to deal with the hustle and bustle day in and day out. Not a very well paying job but its a good place to start and maybe even a good job for a retiree. That being said, i respect those who provide excellent customer service in store and out – more... at the pumps. – less

Great workplace to interact with poeple
Fuel Attendant (Former Employee), Cape May, NJ – March 21, 2013
Pros: working on holidays
Wawa was my first job ever and I learned a lot by communication with everyday people. I was a fuel attendant and I liked how they worked around my schedule. Me and my co-workers got along and developed a friendship. The hardest part of my job was not being able to assist everyone as fast as I would have liked to. The most enjoyable part of my job was – more... working the people I met and dealing with them everyday. – less

Fuel station
Shift Manager (Former Employee), Colonial Heights, VA – March 17, 2013
Pros: benefits, wawa brand discounts
Cons: short breaks, scheduled hours
I enjoy working with others and with the public. I learned time management, knowing when to do something and making sure all tasks were completed. My co-workers were good people and they are good at their jobs there. My management staff was there when you needed them and understanding. The hardest part of my job was clocking out on time because I didnt – more... want to leave the next shift with a mess. The policy was to set others up for sucess and thats what I did. – less

Problem with managers
Store Associate (Former Employee), Prospect Park and Aston, PA – February 21, 2013
It was great to work at Wawa but could not work for the managers. The day manager sent me a bad report of not being happy with customers so I changed my attitude and when the night manager came in, she said I was too happy with customer.

Relaxed work atmosphere
Fuel Attendant (Current Employee), swedesboro nj – February 18, 2013
A typical day at work consists of working extremely hard. There are many things you must do as a fuel associate at wawa. Because they trust and like me there I run the shift that I am working. I must check all pumps for damage and to make sure they work properly. Then thoughout the day the trash needs to be done about every 2 hours along with sweeping – more... the parking lot. Generally everyone works together. The management is very nice and helpful. If you were to have a problem they will help you out immediatly. My co-workers are a different story. These people try very hard to do little to no work in a day and would rather text and talk to eachother than help customers and develop relationships with them as well. The hardest part of this job would be the fact that the hours constantly get cut back. Everyone that is not reciving benifits does not have a certain amount of minimum hours they must work. Some people work only one day (not by choice). The most enjoyable part of this job would have to be the customers. Everyday I work I meet and enjoy the company of new people. The relationships I form with these people makes the day seem alot shorter because i genuinly enjoy their company. – less
