Who is Wegmans Food Markets?
Knowledgeable people who are passionate about food and deliver incredible service—that’s what we’re all about. Wegman's big, bright and beautiful stores offer a shopping experience that our customers adore; they rave about the open-air market ambiance, and the international selection of food. But what we hear that our customers love the most is the incredible service and warm, welcoming environment our people create at Wegmans. Our people have a genuine sense of pride in the exceptional products we offer in every department and a true passion for food and sharing their knowledge with our customers so they can live healthier, better lives.
Diversity
At Wegmans, we think diversity drives success. It is a part of our everyday culture by providing opportunities for everyone to grow and reach their goals. People choose to work here because we create an environment where we live our values every day. And when you step in the store as an employee, you join a second family that values your input and wants you to have fun.
Military
Our belief in the importance of diversity extends to Veterans, Active Guard, and Reserves in our nation’s military branches. Their service has given them the skills and qualities we look for in future employees. Our desire to take care of military employees begins directly with the Wegmans family- after all, Mr. Robert Wegman was a veteran himself. We are prepared to support them every way we can.
