Best thing
I think Wawa’s does a great job at creating a competitive challenging environment. The team always works hard but also plays hard. The customers who come in everyday can absolutely be the best part of the day sometimes. And the shifts typically go by really quick.
Worst thing
Sometimes we are short staffed, or swamped with work.
