Pros

Really good benefits. For the most part work life balance and promotional opportunities are available for those who are interested. Really amazing private label that customers love.

Cons

To spite stores opening , it feels like the company is downsizing staffing in existing stores and merging departments together and causing certain departments to lose their identity and causing the disillusionment of some of the staff. No static days off or rotating weekends. This can make work life balance difficult. Confusing and not transparent posting and promotion process that has "feed back" that is often vague and hard to nail down. The process has all the feels of a system to mask favoritism rather than prevent it. Seemingly always behind the technology curve on almost everything. Pay at least in Virginia is falling behind cost of living increases. Wages for starting Part Time and Full time make hiring challenging. The wages are falling behind the competition.

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.
