Wegmans Employer Reviews

This is a great place to work! I enjoy going to work, meeting new customers and the perks that Wegman's offers it's employees! Training has been great!
Would highly recommend joining the Wegman's team!

At Wegmans I was challenged to try new tasks and to push myself to do things outside of my comfort zone. I learned how to manage a team of employees, delegate tasks to employees, and fulfill management requests to specifications. The management team at Wegmans is respectful and urges their employees to push themselves further. The hardest aspect of – more... working at Wegmans is accomplishing tasks independently and following through without direct oversight. The most enjoyable part is the validation of working towards a team goal with other hard working and caring members of your staff. – less

I work in prepared foods. It is essentially a cook position where I fill a food buffet bar and do prep and clean up. A typical day is fast paced, we are often behind in prep. I determine what we need to get through the next busy meal period for that day- cook that food, then start to prep for the next meal or next day (or 2) based on a inventory of – more... what we have and what we need. I prep till I have to stop and either leave if I am on day shift, or stop to clean the kitchen at closing. During prep I am often pulled away to cook more food for the bars which is part of the job. Being able to multi-task is essential. Usually there are overlaps in the shifts to allow two people or more on for a few hours together so that one can focus on prep while one focuses on maintaining the food bar.

Management of my department is somewhat distant and corporate in feel, the higher-ups do not participate in the everyday runnings of the kitchen. I feel they mostly make decisions based on sales numbers. Sous chefs do participate but are not usually there for everyday support, if there is a problem or if you are overwhelmed they will help. The team leaders are the most supportive but often departments go for stretches with no team leader, or get one who is not familiar with the department because they have come from another department. Full time employees seem to be moved around allot.

My co-workers are pretty awesome. The team spirit of the hourly employees, and the solid team leaders makes up for the distance of upper management. They are always willing to help if they can, if they have time-- and often work would not get done if it were not for coworkers going above and beyond to help each other

For me the hardest part of the job is working as hard and fast as I can and still not accomplishing everything that is needed for the next day. It is disappointing to leave work when things are not done for the next shift and I know my coworkers will start their day in the weeds.

The team spirit and actual cooking are the best parts of the job. The recipes are good and making tasty food for the public is satisfying. The camaraderie in the kitchen is great. – less

The benefits, hours, and atmosphere here make it a place worth coming into every day

Great culture within this comany allows for employees to work their hardest while understanding the ebb and flow of workload and life circumstances. Those who float to the top truly deserve it.

A work day usually consists of filling displays and shelves with new product, department cleaning and organizing, product rotation, answering numerous customer questions and concerns on an hourly basis.We have a very solid dairy department at our wegmans store. Almost every single day operates smoothly with no issues. Our co workers have all worked – more... together and have known each other for many years.Our manager is new and is continuing to learn the process of running a busy dairy department so we continue to try our best to help him learn.The hardest part of the job is being able to manage your time effectively. The dairy department is a very fast paced high volume department that requires constant attention and product filling. The most enjoyable part of the job is the friendships and family like bonds you develop with your customers and coworkers. – less

A typical day at work I come in at 6 am to start the shrink(shrink out old products) start on salad bar, make salads and sandwiches for the walls and chef case for customers also prepack packages with various food. I enjoy working with my co-worker in my department couldn't ask for a better team. The hardest part of my job is when someone calls off. – more... The Most enjoyable part of my job as a culinary students I am surrounded by so many different kids of food from so many different parts of the world> – less

If you want to grow within in Wegmans be prepared to put in years of hard work for very little pay off. You should also be prepared to get paid very little to do quite a-lot. Most employees are breaking themselves trying to get a promotion and because the process of achieving a full time position is so competitive your co-workers are less than team – more... players. Like the movie Office Space if there is a policy change or a mistake is made be prepared to hear from at least 10 different supervisors. Supervisors are all afraid to be thrown under the bus by another supervisor so if you want any sort of action to take place be prepared to wait. It is a top 100 company to work for because they only survey the Full Time employees. – less

On a typical day at Wegmans I come in and do some cleaning. I also push in carts and help customers in and out of the store. So I have great customer service skills.
The management there are helpful, understanding, and are great people to work with. My co-workers are hardworking and are fun to work with.
The hardest part of the job is the weather. Helping – more... Hands is mostly consisted of being outside so the weather is always a factor with this job.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the people, customers and employees alike. – less

"Everyday you get are best" was the rule of thumb, so no matter what happened the day before or at home, you come in with a great attitude. Working here is great the co-workers and the customers are friendly. Wegmans cares about the well being and success of every person. Living with high standards, respect, making a difference, and empowerment. I have – more... learned if you give your all, it will help you grow as a person, with great values at work and home. – less

Very flexible with hours, especially while attending school. Continuous education/training was a priority.

Depending on which wegmans you go to, depends on your experience. I learned a lot working there. but after awhile you noticed favoritism, poor management.While horribly sick people would still be forced to work (with food). but when my mom died they were very accommodating and helpful. but i loved the people i befriended

Consists of making sure that product is fully stocked to make it more easy for customers to find what they are looking for. From my time at Wegman's I have learned how to manage my time as well as take advantage of the culture of empowerment of employees to make their own decisions. I work almost exclusively as the person responsible for closing down – more... my department at the end of the night, making sure that we are set up well for the employees coming in the next morning to ensure that they can stay on schedule. The most enjoyable part of working at Wegman's is the relationships I've built with my co-workers. I also enjoy that I am left alone to make my own decisions, which has taught me great time management skills. The challenging part of my job is making sure that the other employees I work with at night complete their tasks so that we can both leave on time. – less
