Pros

-Co-workers -Benefits are pretty good

Cons

-Good ol boys club, operates very old school -values how long you have worked at hy-vee over experience (this is a direct saying from pervious ceo randy) -favoritism -watch your pto, had a problem of some vac time being paid out, never got the actually money for it even though on paper it says they paid -micromanagement, this comes from all the from the top -upper management doesn’t own up to mistakes -is not honest with employees - took away employee discount, then brought it back but employees can only use it once a week(10% off), this is a joke, on top of that they were trying to tell employees that other places don’t give discounts, haha that’s hilarious cuz it’s not true -department managers get blamed for upper managements mistakes - terrible compensation -takes advantage of good working employees -too many hands in the cookie jar -useless positions at corporate office -low pay -store managers can tell employees how to take their vacation time, HR and/or upper management does nothing. There are store managers that will ONLY let you use your vacation time in week increments

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.
