Wegmans Food Markets

Store operations management intern

June - August 2020 • Webster, NY

What I liked

I loved that Wegmans invested so much time into my learnings. They really care about their people and they made sure I got a lot of experience in store operations this summer.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had done an internship before Covid-19 happened. It was hard to do this internship because I never got to have in person meetings, it was all virtual which isn’t the energy.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share is that you have to go out of your comfort zone. Wegmans pushed me to do things I wouldn’t normally do but I am so grateful I did those things. It makes you realize you can do anything you put your mind to.

Shopper

May 2019 • Montgomeryville, PA

What I liked

It’s a very independent and self directed position. It also is great for the pandemic because it helps people that are at risk avoid busy places and I can maintain social distancing at work.

What I wish was different

Sometimes it can get repetitive. Some customers are unresponsive so you have to make decisions for them without their input.

Advice

With time, you learn where everything is in the store and what replacements are best for the requested products. It definitely improves your critical thinking skills!

my supervisors and coworkers are very nice, so are the customers, so I almost always have a positive work environment. Also, the pay is good

we can set our availability for each week, but not the maximum number of hours we want to work. I wish that we could do that.

it is very repetitive and can be boring, especially if you're tired and hungry, but it is also an easy job with no stress.

Store Operations Management Intern

May 2021 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed working a different variety of shifts so I could learn how the store operated at different times of the day, as well as opening and closing procedures.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been given more exposure in the perishable departments, as I believe this would have enhanced my knowledge of product inventory and ordering, an important part of operations.

Advice

Embrace every opportunity you are given and learn to become comfortable embracing new experiences.

Cashier

May 2022 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

This company genuinely cares for its employees. While the job can feel redundant, the workplace itself never was. It was nice to come into work knowing that there were people there who cared about me, and that if anything went wrong on the job, there was a support system of coworkers there for me.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more variety with the job, however, management is very lenient, and if I had asked, I could have been given the opportunity to cross train on a different department.

Advice

It is a great place to work over the summer, and once you are hired, you are able to return to work during breaks from school. They also offer a scholarship if you work a certain amount of hours.
