Pros

I liked my co-workers. Made many friends. Got some good experience. Moved up quickly. Started as a bagger and left as an assistant manager. and I was able to transfer between stores easily.

Cons

Once I reached the asst. manager position, they started treating me poorly. Everyday I was told I had to stay after my shift ended. I was part time, but preferential time off was given to full time employees. I was called in at least 2 days a week on my days off and if I was busy and told them no my hours were cut the following week. They paid me under $10 an hour and constantly cut my hours to 20-25. They were hiring new dairy clerks in at more than I was making.

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.
