Pros

gas discount. that is the only good thing i feel towards hy-vee at this point. and i do like being able to buy the damaged items at a discounted price.

Cons

unless you're in management, or a friend of management, you are made to feel very small and insignificant. i have been embarrassed in front of customers for mistakes i've made, or for things that were not my fault. i've been reminded of the dress code while others wear what they please. among other things.while others are visiting at their friends registers i have been given cleaning jobs. our store is very cliquish. if you're not in the clique then you don't exist. and most members of management are part of the clique. i am being scheduled past what i put down for my availability.

Pros

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
