Pros

it's a nice place to work with great co-workers.nice and willing to do their best for the benefit of the company. everybdoy who work at hy-vee has that sense of spreading a great smile to customers and earns the rerspect and attention from customers in return. like the company because it's a great company but do need some internal works to do. there won't be a full picture if few pieces of a puzzle are missing.

Cons

every hy-vee may be different. but in my hy-vee store the management has to cooperate more with the workers as a full or part timer it's crucial and essential for the development of the company.if we all are the same, so consideration to each other should be a plus. taking feedback from the employees is a plus but the management does not do that which i consider a poison to the development of the company. if you are a manager in charge of a specific department and made some recent changes and did not communicate with the employees how do you want they to provide a better service to the customer who help make your living better. as you smile everyday you bring food to home and make your family happy you should be thankfull to the customers who did choose your store among several of them in your location to keep you in business. therefore communication is a key for better service as we do believe the customer is always right and who ever works at hy-vee should know what RIGHT stands for.my biggest issue is that hy-vee needs to develop a better recruiting system. most of the employees anr part timer and high school etc. it's great to offer those young employer an opportunity to feel the real professional world. but what you the management you are doing to help them understand that? how to encourage them to offer their best to the customer and invest themselves to thye company? do you management respond to the employees needs, requests by accomodating their availabilities? i gues those are questions managers should ask themselves first. most likely some of those employees do not care if the management does not show any effort to communicate with them and motivate them. let's keep up good work.

Pros

HyVee has a great opportunity for young employers to move up to management positions and director positions. The employees that I've worked with over the years were very diverse. Full time employment is always encouraged and there are 401k and Medicare benefits. The medicare is also worth paying for and they use Cobra for insurance. HyVee also prides itself on employee owned, even on the part-time level. Management is usually very open for ideas to better the department or possibly the whole store.

Cons

It is easy to get sucked into the company if you start at a young age. This is different for everyone but I see a pattern in the technique used to lure employees to work full-time. That is a personal con of mine because I avoided college because of it. You may also find yourself working incredible hours when getting paid salary. I've seen assistant store directors work upwards of 60-70 hours bi-weekly.
