Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

Nice people. Flexible work hours.

Seem to have to "work your way up" even if you have a ton of other experience.

Advice to Senior Management

When someone is very overqualified see if you can put them in a management position without having to work you way up!

Flexible schedule, encouraging environment, managers are respectful, ability to grow within the company, benefits working part time, has a family feel, great training

You have to work most weekends, it is difficult to take off time around the holidays especially for full time employees

Pros

Bi-annual hourly raises for part-time employees
Scholarship program for employees furthering their education
Always opportunities for advancement

Front End jobs are slightly monotonous (as to be expected with any introductory grocery store position)

Advice to Senior Management

More low-level employee feedback on how their managers are doing

Pros

The best reasons to work at Wegmans are its flexible hours that allow time off and shift changes easily when necessary. It is a great first job for young students in high school with a great scholarship program that you may receive throughout school, including applying again for graduate school and beyond.

Cons

If you have other priorities, like another job or school, then you will not be able to work in the most satisfying positions or move much in the company. The pay is lower than jobs that require greater expertise, but for its industry it is one of, if not, the best. Work may become repetitive if you are in a position that requires few innovations or decisions, but they do allow suggestions for improvement from all employees regardless of position.

Advice to Senior Management

The leadership at Wegmans has been doing a great job, but there needs to be more reviewing of some store managers. At some stores, I have had excellent managers who work hard, connect with their employees, and innovate. At others, the opposite was true. We need more of the prior.

Pros

Best reasons to work at Wegmans are many. Wegmans provides oppotunities to developed your skills at what ever job your doing. Wegmans leadership is very caring about your growth, health and well being. Wegmans displays very good flexebilities in working around your personal life. In addition Wegmans is a very well lead company.

Cons

The downsides are far and few in between. The scheduling can be some what erratic and inconsistent. Sometimes Wegmans can be a little too soft on workers who underperform, such as coming late to work or not following through on itemize task performance.

Advice to Senior Management

Wegmans needs to be more stricter with underperforming workers. The leadrship needs to make sure that all the workers, especially the young ones, are following through on the itemized task requirements all the time.

Pros

Managers know you and respect you.
If you have any medical problems they are 100% understanding
Your coworkers in many cases become your good friends.
Pay is great especially if you stay with a company, pay raises two times a year! Also they are very understanding with time off requests or sick days. I was part time and getting nearly 60 hours a year for vacation!

Cons

Heavy lifting if you are working as a stocker. If you are terrible with people this really isn't a job for you since they want you to interact with customers. A lot of relationships inside the store.

Advice to Senior Management

Managers are really understanding and want there employees succeed which is why I always stuck around Wegmans. Also appreciate the fact that managers actually let me act as a manager in many cases to see how it would feel.

Pros

Great people, workplace, and they are very flexible when it comes to scheduling. They keep my job for me while im at college.

Cons

I wish they would teach more to the part timers.

Advice to Senior Management

'Simplification' didn't work in the food departments. Employees may become more motivated by profit sharing and wages that are maybe a dollar or two higher.
