Pros

My fellow coworkers are usually really fun to be around since we are all in the same boat . I'm very social and outgoing, so talking with customers is typically easy and engaging. Some decent sales. Mostly all friendly service,

Cons

The managers micro manage and seldom realize that "lower level" employees are people too. Managers are demanding and have side departments perform tasks that don't pertain to their department and take time away from them. The pay is ghastly and can barely support a college student. Asking for a raise is like pulling a tooth. Raises are pathetic in amount. There's seldom enough employees working. Produce, grocery, and kitchen all suffer greatly from understaffing.

Pros

Hy-Vee is a great company that truly cares about the communities we serve. Our 14 fundamentals drive both the customer and employee experience, guiding how we treat and serve our customers and each other. Leadership actively seeks employee feedback and uses it to drive meaningful change across all locations. There is a wide variety of jobs and career opportunities in many different areas of the company from retail to supply chain, IT, marketing, and so many more. obust employee benefits include tuition assistance for degrees, certifications, and foundational learning at little to no cost to employees, and the company focuses on promoting from within for most leadership roles.

Cons

As a 24/7 retail business, scheduling can be demanding in some roles — though the variety of positions means there's flexibility to find the right fit. With a large, decentralized workforce spread across hundreds of locations, consistent employee communication is an ongoing area of focus and improvement.
