Wegmans Food Markets

Software Quality Assurance Co-op

January - August 2018 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

The people at Wegmans are really laidback, friendly, and approachable. The environment allowed me to ease in very quickly and comfortably. They try their best to accommodate interns and they are very supportive!

What I wish was different

I wish there was more work to do. As an intern, I expected tasks of more variety as time went on but I ended up doing essentially the same thing which became stale. A lot of the times, I would end up not being as productive as I would like due to the lack of work. I was also disappointed that not everyone was able to do test automation as implied in the job description.

Advice

While Wegmans is a great company with great people, this position did not provide the amount of experience I was seeking. However, I believe other internships Wegmans that provides can be very helpful towards your career so do not let this review dissuade you from applying to them!

Store Operations Intern

May - September 2018 • Buffalo, NY

What I liked

I want to make a career through Wegmans! The summer Store Operation internship gave me the tools I needed to learn the functions of a department manager and grow with the company. It was such a nice experience, and I am looking forward to doing it again next summer. I loved going to different stores and gaining insight on how to re merchandize our store. It gave me the opportunity to run the department, track sales, and manage waste.

What I wish was different

I wish the hours were a bit different. Typically, I had the same shift every day. 6am -2:30pm. I wish I could have learned the department during night time hours as well.

Advice

YOU need to be the one who gets involved! I put myself out there and signed myself up for this internship and it was one of the greatest decisions I've made. Get involved. Form relationships with co-workers. You'll never know when you may need them one day, or that they can even help you out in the future.

Store Operations Internship

June - August 2018 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

Working with Wegmans was like working with a family. Everyone was so friendly and really took the time out of their days to teach me valuable skills and how a large Fortune 100 company operates. I loved how we took trips to local farms in order to see the whole process from farm to stores, as well as the large projects it gave to us which allowed us to implement innovation however we saw fit within the whole company.

What I wish was different

One thing I wish was different, was I wish they gave more time in the project. It was a lot of work to be done within 3 months, but if anything it taught me how to work under pressure.

Advice

One piece of advice I would give is to set up a schedule for the summer and really pay attention to the calendar. It is expected that you organize yourself and keep up with the pace of work. If you fall behind, make sure to notify your assigned mentor so they can help you get caught up.

Management Intern

May 2016 • Buffalo, NY

What I liked

The MI program enables you to grasp a better understanding of how to operate a small business inside of a larger company. You are given the opportunity to run the department you are assigned to for the summer, & that in itself is a big task to give to an 18 year old. This program has left me better equipped to manage a team of people in a productive & positive way.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had seen the business from a more corporate perspective.

Advice

Take every opportunity that you are given! Take every opportunity to travel & expand with the company, it will pay off.

Store Operations Intern

May - August 2018 • Buffalo, NY

What I liked

Wegmans takes time to invest in their employees. Through weekly meetings, I was continually given feedback in areas that I could grow. I was given hands-on opportunities to apply what I have been learning in school. Not only that, but I gained a large amount of product knowledge that will carry me beyond Wegmans.

What I wish was different

Although I enjoyed my time in the store I worked at, it was the highest volume store in the zone and the busiest store in the zone. I think that I missed out on some learning opportunities because of this. At the same time, I had opportunities that other interns did not.

Advice

Take every feedback with a grain of salt and be your own advocate.
