Pros

I would if I could think of any.

Cons

Do not believe any of the hype you read or hear about Wegmans Markets. They opperate the same way Wal-Mart does. Full time status has to be earned. It does not matter how many years experiance you have or how qualified you are at your job you may work 15 years or more and never be anything more than part time. It is constantly push.push,push and the more you do the more they want, usually for minimum wage. Tehy are constantly on the Forbes list of best places to work. Where they get that information must be from coporate employees because you will never hear it from the peons themselves. You may be ina department where the Mother or Father is the boss of one of thier children and believe me favortisim is evident and you end up doing all the grunt work. The head of Human Resources at the store level can be someone who worked in the seafood department and has no training. It is ridiculous how they can try to brainwash the public into how wonderful they are. A pig dressed in a tuxedo is still a pig. Don't bother with this company unless you don't mid being used.

Pros

Gives you plenty of hours and pays well. When I interviewed for my job at the City Ridge Wegmans in DC, I asked for the highest possible starting salary (which I believe was $21 per hour at the time) since I had experience in that exact position for about 3 years beforehand, and they gave it to me without much pushback. The annual salary increases really reward sticking around too, I had capped out at the maximum salary for my position at $22 per hour by the next year. They also once adjusted that annual increase to a dollar rather than 50 cents for all employees (I believe it was around 2023?) due to the economy being crap.

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth. If you want any sort of management training, you REALLY have to push for it. I struggled to even migrate outside of my own department, they really want to keep people where they are for the most part, unless you have friends in the right places who can advocate for you. Networking really is everything. Also, this is either a pro or a con depending on your perspective, but they really pack in the hours. I often struggled to feel like I had any time for myself, but that's also just what having a full time job feels like.
