Data Management Intern

January - June 2018 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

The Wegmans family was amazing. Every person that I came across loved their job and the work they were doing. I felt the same way when I was there. Everyone welcomed me to the place and treated me like we were just really good friends. My Manager and Boss were extremely helpful in fostering a professional environment.

What I wish was different

While it was such a family atmosphere, sometimes that took away from the actual work. People didn't want to tell other employees to get stuff done to disrupt that good family atmosphere which made for super super long deadlines that made me actually not do things sometimes because it wasn't due for a month or so when they could have pushed me a lot more.

Advice

Your boss and your manager are your friend, use them, even after you leave, they will help you.

Front End Coordinator

September 2016 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

It's a great customer service experience with management experience. Wegmans is such a friendly environment with a great set of co-workers. The work schedule is extremely flexible with great cooperation among management.

What I wish was different

As much as the scheduling was fantastic, over the summer I held two different positions and it was difficult to schedule each one.

Advice

When working in customer service at a grocery store it's really important to look to others for help. There are a lot of products in the store and it's almost impossible to know them all. So ask for help!

Cashier

June 2017 • Syracuse, NY

What I liked

I liked the pace of the job and the people I worked with. I currently work at a Buffalo Wegman's but transferred to a store closer to home for the summer. The company was great with helping me transition. The Syracuse store was smaller and gave me a new experience with a great company.

What I wish was different

I think the communication between the stores could have been better to help me transfer but everything worked out well. I don't really have any complaints.

Advice

It's important to enjoy the quirks and characters of different stores and work places. For instance, I was able to enjoy new coworkers and a new group of customers. I do this every shift by relating to others, which I believe is very powerful.

Event Services Summer Intern

June - August 2018 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed the people I worked with, along with the unique experience that one could only get by doing this job. I also enjoyed the manual labor attached to this job, growing up working on a farm, it was nice to have similar working conditions.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more time there. I wish the pay would have been slightly higher. I wish there was a chance for me to have a higher amount of responsibility.

Advice

If you have completed your Co-ops and have nothing better to do over the summer, this is an awesome job. Expect to work hard. That being said, the work is quite enjoyable.
