Pros

HyVee has a great opportunity for young employers to move up to management positions and director positions. The employees that I've worked with over the years were very diverse. Full time employment is always encouraged and there are 401k and Medicare benefits. The medicare is also worth paying for and they use Cobra for insurance. HyVee also prides itself on employee owned, even on the part-time level. Management is usually very open for ideas to better the department or possibly the whole store.

Cons

It is easy to get sucked into the company if you start at a young age. This is different for everyone but I see a pattern in the technique used to lure employees to work full-time. That is a personal con of mine because I avoided college because of it. You may also find yourself working incredible hours when getting paid salary. I've seen assistant store directors work upwards of 60-70 hours bi-weekly.

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”.
