Pros

The people there are great, very nice and friendly atmosphere ( depending on the location). I worked at two different stores and they were polar opposites. I would go back to my first store. I've never stepped foot into the other location that I worked at. They work really well with your schedule, especially if you are in school. A great job to make lasting friends and learn life skills.

Cons

The pay sucked. When I first started as part time, I was getting a little above state minimum. In two years my pay only jumped about 1 dollar even though I was one of the better workers. And the drama between coworkers could get out of hand very easily.

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.
