Pros

Free coffee and drinks out of the soda machine. Discounted Food. Half an hour break* (see cons). Corporate isn't too bad. Nice apparel for the employees sometimes. (In fall we got Wawa hoodies and special promo shirts). Learning new things everyday. (Most) Friendly co workers and management if you're lucky.

Cons

(Going back to the break times), yes, a half an hour break but during that break you can get called back out onto the floor if it's too busy. There is ALOT to learn, I mean ALOT. It's not an easy job. There's usually 2-3 people in Deli and one person in beverage. That's the thing, beverage people don't get any help, so you're on your own. There's many tasks along with making coffee, drinks, and snacks constantly. At least in the store I was in, snacks had to be made every hour, and having customers let you know some coffee is out or the drink station beeping every thirty seconds can drive you insane and overwhelm you quickly. It's overwhelming and many times I cried in the freezer. If you want to work at Wawa you have to learn to multitask and be FAST.

Pros

Fantastic health and customer service standards If you have a good management team, everything goes smoothly and even when it doesn't they help you handle it If you negotiate pay before being officially hired, they are willing to negotiate Opportunity for growth Affordable benefits that are actually good

Cons

A LOT is expected from you, and if you don't negotiate for higher pay before being hired, or at the time of promotion, it can feel like you're being underpaid for sure. Just because you are on the same level as someone else, doesn't necessarily mean you will receive the same pay rate
