Pros

Their scheduling is VERY flexible and the work is pretty easy. Another thing I have to say is that they really do care about their employees, and they have admitted in a video presentation to the employees that this is mainly because their employee medical benefits (for full-timers, which I am not) are one of their biggest and most actively rising costs. Because of this, they are encouraging employees to eat and live healthy. They do this through free medical screenings and a program called Eat Well Live Well, which they plan encouraging neighboring stores in many of their locations to join.

Cons

The management is not that respectful to the employees at some of the stores (on the store level). Once you start working your way up it is not too bad, but the entry level sucks. The larger stores are run better than the smaller stores, counter to intuitive expectations. The larger stores get all the money and funding, leaving the smaller stores to make with what they have. Also, the larger stores are more lenient when it comes to taking breaks and aren't as strict about certain policies which is completely unfair to those who work at the smaller stores.

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.
