Pros

This company treats their workers very well and is very generous. They also care a lot about their customers and make sure everything is clean and safe for consumption unlike other places. It also gives you many opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

They could use more up to date things and make some systems a little easier to do now. Also have heard of some people having a horrible experiences but I personally have had a good experience.

At Wawa, we know how important it is to build a community where everyone can be seen, heard, and belong. We take pride in fostering a workplace where every team member is valued, and can feel supported, celebrated, and comfortable being their authentic self. ​

Our Wawa Innovation Networks (WINs) play a key role in giving every associate a way to make a positive impact, and each WIN group is sponsored by a member of our Executive leadership team. WINs are voluntary, associate-led groups that help to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace aligned with Wawa’s mission, values, goals, and business objectives. Wawa’s 6 WINs include: Rainbow Alliance, Unity Alliance, Veterans Alliance, Women’s Alliance, Young Professionals, and Collectives Abilities Network (CAN). To date, we have roughly 9,000 associates across Wawa who currently participate.
