Pros

Co-workers are helpful and nice. Easy to get shifts covered or forgiven if time off is needed. Flexible in schedules and pay is good for the job. Great for those in high school or college.

Cons

Management is terrible. They never do their own jobs and constantly bug the assistant managers or part time workers. Nobody there seems to care if you do or don't show up for shifts or arrive on time. They never fire anyone and that makes the work hard for those that do show up regularly. Hours are always being cut which makes work difficult when you are there. You'll rarely get to leave on time and always be asked to stay late. No benefits for working at the store either. Once a month you get a discount, and a slightly cheaper meal option is avialible while on break.

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.
