Pros

My most positive experience was always the people I worked directly with. It was a brotherhood because we all experienced what amounted to an abusive relationship together.

Cons

At the end it became clear that the company was paying for the sins of a leadership with the worst attention span of all time. Multiple failed projects costing millions of dollars, and my friends and colleagues being escorted out of the building by security without warning. I was paid significantly less than market value for my position but I put up with it with the hope of it being worth it in the end.

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.
