Wegmans Reviews

I have been working at Wegmans for less than a year

Pros – paid weekly, good hours for part time

Cons – management doesnt help out at all, they just look out for themselves. I have asked so many times to transfer to a different department and they wont do a single thing for me. And if I was to transfer they would drop my pay over a dollar

Advice to Senior Management – screw yourself

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Wegmans part-time for less than a year

Pros – Flexibility with hours as well as pay.

Cons – Not eligible for benefits unitl after one year of service. Always shorthanded, not enough people scheduled.

Advice to Senior Management – Hire people with more experience in management, offer benefits upon hire. Learn to be a little more openminded in regards to certain situations. Show more support and respect for those with injuries. Show no favoritism in regards to company regulations.

I worked at Wegmans full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – I would say the biggest "Pro" about this company is growth and stability. Hardly anyone gets fired, no matter how bad they are at there job. It takes no showing up or stealing something. You will always have a job. People are great to work with. This is an outstanding place to work for when you are in high school and college.

Cons – Job posting process and selection. You will get promoted if you know the right people. I have been on both sides of this, good and bad. This is the reason why I left, too many people who have less education and experience than me were passing me by, both at store and corporate levels I posted for. In my 8 years there I have posted for over 10 positions, got 3 of them. When I got stuck, I applied outside the company and got a job within a week it would have taken me over 10 years to obtain with the same skill level and responsiblities.

Advice to Senior Management – Fix the job posting process and do not play favorites in the selection process. After many years I finally figured it out I had to move else where to move my career.

I have been working at Wegmans part-time for more than a year

Pros – After over two years of working at Wegmans I have began to get the feel of how great the company really is. If you are willing to commit yourself to work at a fast-paced but friendly environment you will continually grow as an employee. Wegmans is also very flexible with availabilities. If you are short scheduled, you can ask for more hours and depending on how open your availability is, they are more than likely to call you. The extra hours plus the show for dough is very beneficial.

Cons – The only one of two miniscule things I can critique about are that breaks can be a bit too short when you have loads of stuff to take care of. If they extend breaks from 10-15 minutes it will relieve stress for the cashiers so they can get their stuff done and come back once they are done. The other problem I have is the No Drinks at register policy. They should make an exception to bottled water to keep at the registers because during the busy shifts the only time that we can make a run to the drinking fountain or the drink station is when there are no customers in our aisle. Sometimes a rush can last over two hours and sometimes cashiers can get a little bit dehydrated. Having bottled water at the registers can help cashiers greatly so that they can be able to continue to provide incredible service to our customers.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing, and keep maintaining open communication with your employees.

I have been working at Wegmans part-time for more than 7 years

Pros – I worked for Wegmans for seven years from high school through university. Wegmans management was very supportive and accommodated my frequently changing schedule.

Wegmans offers a scholarship and is fairly easy to receive if you have 1-2 years experience before entering university.

Cons – It is very difficult to break into the corporate level

It is my opinion that Wegmans management keeps experience employees part-time in order to avoid paying benefits.

Some positions such as produce delivery load is vastly underpaid for the effort needed to complete the daily tasks, not to mention the physical strain and risk of injury.

Advice to Senior Management – Scholarship program does nearly nothing to retain relevant employees in the company. I am pretty sure it is simply in place to make the company look good and receive their recognition as a great company to work for. Don't get me wrong not complaining about receiving a scholarship, but Wegmans could utilize this program better and retain talent if they made an effort to mentor and actively offer career advice to their scholarship employees.

I have been working at Wegmans part-time for less than a year

Pros – I have been with Wegnams as a Cashier since September. The staff is very nice, helpful, friendly and very accommodating. As a part time employee, I provided my availability and number of hours preferred to work each week to the Front End Supervisor. They have been very accommodating.

Cons – None. I have not found anything working about the company that is a negative.

Advice to Senior Management – Give us employees a discount and stop playing favoritism all the time.

I have been working at Wegmans full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Great company to work for, friendly staff..

Cons – Job posting process is a joke. Corporate stresses that it's fair but it really isn't. Outside hires are given preference for management material when they're brainless nitwits with no clue how the company operates. 10+ year veterans are always passed up for positions.

I worked at Wegmans part-time for more than a year

Pros – Flexibility (barely). It hires 15 year olds (which sucks for college kids, cause you're competing with high schoolers for hours)

Cons – Brainwashing, false sense of "diversity", front-end coordinators and treatment of employees.

Advice to Senior Management – Cashiers are the ones who deal with customers the most, don't make their jobs any harder than it already is. And don't offer suggestions when you yourself don't follow your advice.
