Wegmans – “Overall, the company cares about your health and is flexible, but aim to work at a larger store.”

Pros

Their scheduling is VERY flexible and the work is pretty easy. Another thing I have to say is that they really do care about their employees, and they have admitted in a video presentation to the employees that this is mainly because their employee medical benefits (for full-timers, which I am not) are one of their biggest and most actively rising costs. Because of this, they are encouraging employees to eat and live healthy. They do this through free medical screenings and a program called Eat Well Live Well, which they plan encouraging neighboring stores in many of their locations to join.

Cons

The management is not that respectful to the employees at some of the stores (on the store level). Once you start working your way up it is not too bad, but the entry level sucks. The larger stores are run better than the smaller stores, counter to intuitive expectations. The larger stores get all the money and funding, leaving the smaller stores to make with what they have. Also, the larger stores are more lenient when it comes to taking breaks and aren't as strict about certain policies which is completely unfair to those who work at the smaller stores.

Advice to Senior Management

You need new store managers in some of the smaller-store locations.
