Great part-time job

Business Outlook

Pros

My work atmosphere was very friendly and I had a supportive team to assist me with my project objectives. Hy-Vee is a great organization and a night stock job is the perfect "foot in the door."

Cons

No immediate downsides - many of my coworkers had additional fulltime jobs and worked 10PM-6AM at night. This made sleeping difficult, but the scheduler was sensitive to the staff's needs.

Business Outlook

Pros

The initial Company feeling Great deals on employee food purchases 10% discount on groceries per 2 weeks You can work with relatives Fast paced at most times Customer interaction is excellent Pay, but lacking incentive incremental

Cons

Company does not honor reviews Someone else lacking abilities for your position will be paid more, based on their "family system" No dept interaction, you cant imagine as a caterer how much pain it can be when every other dept refuses to work with you, or simply doesnt care enough too when you are preparing to serve 300 people. Managers who work in your dept will look down on you, dont take enough time to sort the bad company apples from the good, be prepared from last minute shift changes and call ins. If you tell a manager something important, be prepared to tell them all, again lack of communication could be this problem, or the fact there are seldom meetings.
