Pros

Working for Hy-Vee is like gaining an additional family. My coworkers truly care about me and my store director and department manager have gone above and beyond to help relocate me to a new city. Before I could even work I shopped at Hy-Vee, and I must say I love the environment! Always upbeat and friendly. I have received steady pay raises throughout my time with this company.

Cons

I struggle to get the time off I need in the pharmacy department, but this is not the case if you work up front. As a courtesy clerk or cashier, it can be hard to maintain a steady paycheck. There are so many employees that a part-timer may struggle to work enough hours each week.

Pros

I really enjoyed my coworkers and the management of the store. There were a handful of people who worked there at the time who weren't necessarily my favorite, but overall the team was good.

Cons

There we no significant cons. The pay is not the highest, but these are mainly entry level jobs.

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.
