Pros

Very easy to get time off Co-Workers are fun Pay is OK

Cons

You don't do the job you apply for. You kinda just do whatever they need you to do. Boys are the only gender to ever get carts. Break time is very short.

Pros

Hy-Vee provides an opportunity to grow as a professional at either a retail or corporate level. Benefits are above average for regular and full-time employees. Hy-Vee has remained a growth-company for almost 80 years.

Cons

The Store Director sets the tone for box. Store Directors rely heavily on the Manager of Store Operations as his/her eyes and ears that you truly hope that underling always keeps the best interests of the store in mind. If he/she has a weak or self-serving Manager of Store Operations it can make it miserable for everyone. As a mid-level manager be prepared to work 60 hours a week on average with the rare weekend off. Again, the Manager of Store Operations often calls the shots on scheduling but that can vary from store to store. Basically, a store can have a miserable culture but drive across town to another Hy-Vee and everyone is happy working as a team. Store autonomy can be a mixed blessing.
