Pros

Hy-Vee offers its employees very flexible working hours. Almost all of the co-workers at this store are very friendly to work with. This is an alright place for a student in High School to work to earn some spending money.

Cons

The pay is horrible here. All non-management jobs are paid at or just above minimum wage, no matter how much experience you have or how long you have been working there. And for those that think you will be paid right once you get a management job, think again. The pay for a second assistant manager, which is what all managers start out as, is $10.00 an hour.

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.
