Alexis Walters has grown her career from part-time cashier to full-time employee advocate during her 10 years with Wegmans. Walters was working full-time with a local school district when she applied for a job at the Frederick, Maryland store.
“Wegmans was supposed to be a temporary summer job for me while I was determining my career path,” said Walters. “Once I started to work for the company, I saw an opportunity to have a career with Wegmans and I choose that path.”
Walters accepted a full-time position at the Frederick store and served as a team leader before relocating to Virginia in 2014. She participated in Wegmans Human Resources Management Trainee program and upon completion, worked as an employee advocate at several stores in the Virginia division. In 2021, Walters joined the Carlyle team to assist with opening the new store. She currently oversees staffing and training needs to prepare employees for opening day.
“Once the store is open, my focus will continue to be our people and making sure they have the resources they need to be successful in their roles,” said Walters. “I appreciate Wegmans’ focus on the overall well-being and success of its employees. It’s gratifying to be a part of that network of support.”
