This piece seems to be more on the reporting side, which establishes a lot of ethos because it states a lot of facts, however that does make it a little boring. It peppers in a lot of relevant quotes which have a small effect concerning pathos but for the most part it throws information at us without a lot of style. The point it makes is essentially the same point our group is trying to make with our project, which is that Wegman’s is an excellent company and should be followed as an example by other companies in order to create a company that is considered desirable to work for. The most effective way the author makes this argument is by analyzing the way in which Wegman’s and other stores like it became desirable companies to work for. To really run off of a family based image as a whole. Have the family first when it comes to their employees and keeping them happy, and being sensitive to their needs a people with kids or people who are young adults and are dealing with school. The offering of scholarships, medical coverage, and ways to participate in the community is also part of this and serves them well in appearing to be a company that cares. I really like the plain flat out way this article provides information because it makes a clear argument and you don’t really need to dig for the meaning in the writing.
