Pros

I had wonderful coworkers, they were all very sweet and got their jobs done. Breaks were given on time at least. Good for a first job for a highschooler but not anything else, unless you worked meat counter or warehouse.

Cons

Awful, Awful scheduling. It's a common problem with the whole company, apparently. They would never schedule me for the week if I took the past weekend off. I rarely took the weekends off, it was just mainly for required school stuff. I had all of my days open except Saturdays at one point and they still only scheduled me for Sunday 3-5 hours which is not worth it. Horrible communication. They thought I was a college student that left, and didn't bother to contact me to see if I still worked there or not. After I contacted them and explained that I didn't and gave them my days that I set up, they still did not schedule me. Frustrating trying to communicate with HR, who only seemed to be in for an hour or two before phone would be set to voicemail again.

Pros

You get to constantly move around the store thru the different departments. Depending on the hours you work you can potentially learn how to do little things within each department, for example the deli or meat counters, which in turn opens an opportunity to get additional hours if needed when AOL doesn't have the business to keep all the shoppers shopping. Hyvee was always very good about giving you the opportunity to help in other areas of the store if your department was lacking hours or business to give you the full 40 for your work week.

Cons

The management/ chain of command often gets a little confusing as you have department managers, assiant managers, general mangers and a director. Often times I felt as if assiant managers sometimes gave different directions then the department manager would give almost condescending what you were told from your direct manager, but would fail to communicate with the department manager this info, causing conflict with employees being told to do it one way and then also getting asked why things were done that way after being trained to do it another way. Basically no communication by your assiant to the department manager causing internal conflict.
