Okay, but definitely major shortcomings - Anonymous employee Wegmans Food Markets Employee Review

There is little discipline that seems to happen at my store. The people that work the hardest seem to be treated the worst. I can pick out handfuls of employees that do not really do their jobs and basically punch in and walk around the store, with little consequences. Management, at all levels, is completely disconnected from what is actually going on in the store. Overall employee morale at my store is not that great, and every week someone else seems to quit. I've had to explain simple things to night managers who do not know what they are doing, and I am a way lower-level employee. They are horrible at posting open-positions in the store, and sometimes bring in people from the outside right away without giving anyone a chance in-store to move up. It can also take months and months to even get an interview. Working weekends are a nightmare. The extra Sunday pay is generous, but not when they drag out hiring more help and I am stuck doing the work of two or three people (at a pay much lower than anyone else in the department). At the time of this review, just about every department in our store is understaffed, and they take their sweet time to find replacements. Scheduling has started to become an issue--requests for days off sometimes go ignored, but that's okay...just call-out a zillion times without an consequences (besides screwing over everyone else in the department). But pull out a cell phone while on company property? That may get you a write-up depending on who is around. Someone earlier talked about United Way, and that is another con I have. Employees are pressured to some degree to donate (eg. being confronted personally by management), however I always refuse as I am not fond of the charities' practices. Also when on cashier, pressuring people to donate to "XXX" Food Bank is just annoying.
