Pros

Nice co-workers for the most part. Benefits, including 401k , available for all. Department managers are wonderful for the most part.

Cons

Low pay in comparison to other retailers. Wildly swinging hours...no hours some weeks, beaucoup hours the next. Store directors ALWAYS wanting to cut hours to the store's detriment. Unrealistic expectations....not enough employees to efficiently do all of the necessary work. Rare for full/regular time positions to open. Part time is where it's at for Hy-Vee. Miniscule raises if you're fortunate enough to get one despite the company's rosy financial picture.

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.
