Pros

Full-time insurance is good but it's really hard to get and there are a lot of great employees you get to work with and meet

Cons

Hy-vee as a whole don't listen to their employees. Theres a lot of favoritism and you're undervalued. You get treated like you're beneath managers as a person. Promotions and discipline are based favoritism. Way underpaid. Managers won't always let you know when you've done something wrong. Communication is awful. With cutting hours they want one person to do the work of 2 or 3 in less time than it took with 1(managers and departments have this problem)  Sometimes that's impossible which is exactly why a few employees clock out and keep working. It's hard to have a life when you open some days close other days, work 10 hours this week and 40 next

Pharmacists as Chattel

Pros

The staff can be quite pleasant but are often inadequately trained.

Cons

Store managers consistently try to micromanage the pharmacy staff and the Department Head. The company is run by individuals who started out life as baggers. It shows. Hy-Vee does everything it can to nickel and dime the pharmacy department supporting it with aging equipment and an understaffed support department. If you are the new hire expect to be abused by everyone above you in respect to your schedule. When I worked there during two separate stints, I seldom got bathroom breaks and seldom got to eat lunch.
