Pros
Like a lot of companies with multiple locations, HyVee can vary according to the store director, (store manager.) The one I work for seems to be very good one for overall store attitude. The pay is decent, the benefits and insurance are good and the philosophy of the company is contagious.Employees greet each other not just customers as you leave, arrive or travel the store. Smiles are everywhere. Being company owned, all employees share in the profitability of the individual store. This is nicely explained in quarterly meetings. So instead of being part of thousands of employees, you can see from a more local standpoint how the profit is made. Example: fewer carts hitting cars in the lot reduces claims and therefore your bonus rises. They are also good at keeping your hours in check so you seldom work over your scheduled 40.
Cons
I'm older and very experienced but it seems that the upper management doesn't seem to care about my opinion. Maybe sour grapes but decisions are made for departments without the department manager being involved. "Add this" or "change this" without asking "what do you thing would improve sales."
