Flexible Work Schedule. Nice co workers. Appreciative customers.

Cons

Poor communication from managers. Unskilled in handling disputes. Push employees hard....cool reactions from managers/feel unappreciated. Cutting hours randomly. Indirect retaliation for complaints. Must tow the company line. Obsessive cost measures.....told to go home early or make sure to clock out and in at precise times/at times asked to clock out before your shift is up (minutes are scrutinized), Mistrust of employees (micro managing). Called "Employee owned "( no real feasible benefits0, No input to work conditions. Forever cost cutting. Occasionally placed in dangerous positions. Ladders( w/ no side rails), No attention paid to abilities of workers (e.g. often older workers placed long hours on hauling shopping carts w/no mechanical assistance, Disabilities not recognized. Frenzied atmosphere w/ no team building (like one see @ Trader Joe's for example),

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.
