Pros

the 20% employee discount is really nice. i saved a lot of money on groceries by working here. pretty much all of my assistant managers were great.

Cons

very low pay. customers are rude and sometimes use rudeness to get their way, like honoring expired coupons. can be extremely fast-paced and stressful, especially around the holidays. physically demanding, quite a bit of lifting. as a part-timer i was usually scheduled the max number of hours they could give me without full-time benefits. i was scheduled for about 5 more hours than what my availability stated most weeks. i also felt i was more frequently left without a bagger to assist me than other cashiers, resulting in me doing the work of 2 people.

Pros

You get to constantly move around the store thru the different departments. Depending on the hours you work you can potentially learn how to do little things within each department, for example the deli or meat counters, which in turn opens an opportunity to get additional hours if needed when AOL doesn't have the business to keep all the shoppers shopping. Hyvee was always very good about giving you the opportunity to help in other areas of the store if your department was lacking hours or business to give you the full 40 for your work week.

Cons

The management/ chain of command often gets a little confusing as you have department managers, assiant managers, general mangers and a director. Often times I felt as if assiant managers sometimes gave different directions then the department manager would give almost condescending what you were told from your direct manager, but would fail to communicate with the department manager this info, causing conflict with employees being told to do it one way and then also getting asked why things were done that way after being trained to do it another way. Basically no communication by your assiant to the department manager causing internal conflict.
