Pros

This was my first job, out of high school, and I honestly could not have asked for a better way to enter the workforce. As a part-time worker, I had flexibility around my personal life and college schedule. I actively pursued a positive relationship with HR during the entirety of my career with Hy-Vee, and this allowed me to gain experience in different departments, switch stores between my college town and hometown, and I was able to quickly gain the trust of management. Great employee perks, even for part-time positions. They wholly believe in giving every person an opportunity, including those who have disabilities.

Cons

I will say, the experience workers have in this company will likely come down to who the head managers are, as well as the respective store's owner. I started under great ownership, and left shortly after HR and ownership changed hands.

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.
