Pros

* Its a job * Pay is okay for part time * That is about it.

Cons

* Coworkers are not passionate nor helpful * There was continuous gossip * Management didn't seem to care about the employees * Unfair practices regarding illness/inability to come in due to an emergency (e.g. They let someone call in for a hair appointment but when my home had a plumbing issue they told me I had to come in anyway) *They don't allow you to get more hours and refuse to offer more regular or full time positions because they don't want to pay benefits

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.
