While my interview went normal, Wawa recruiters and Area Managers look at Wawa as being Walmart or something. I have years of experience has a general manager at a convenience store, however they won’t hire you unless you come from a big box store. They will instead insult you by offering you a assistant manager position.
The interview questions are extremely scripted. The area manager was late to the interview.
They try to justify you being an assistant because likely it is similar pay to your former job. Who wants to leave a job for the same amount of money at another job? Makes no sense.
I met every single job requirement, however since I came from competition, I feel by default they offer assistant.
The area manager referred to her leaders as being strongest in the company, yet the district she runs is my local area and I’ve been able to see many issues already as I’ve been observing over time. I believe Wawa has a super high ego. When In reality you’re just a convenience store. Yes I may be a little salty . I received an offer but declined because I did not apply for an assistant position.
Immediately when the recruiter called me, within the first minute or so she brought up assistant manager, simply by observing my experience from one of Wawa direct competitors. She said, (quote) “we like to set our general managers up for success, usually individuals who come from (my former job) don’t perform as our general managers do .
Uhhh, excuse me? Wawa needs to get a grip. The area manager mentioned she had 15 general managers in a 12 store district. So are you guys even hiring then? This is the type of stuff Wawa will do. Waste your precious time . A trap for them to hire AGMS
