      Pros

      Financially stable company who cares about it's employees. Fair pay with excellent benefits. If your willing to work for it there is definately room for advancement, especially if you are willing to move. In my experience Hy-Vee also does a real nice job of hiring from within for job openings. So if there is a position at another location closer to home, you have a fair oportunity at getting that job.

      Cons

      Being that it's retail it gets easy to put in some very long hours. This isn't a negative against Hy-Vee it's just what the job is. As long as you know this going in you'll be fine. You are rewarded for your time with a fair paycheck and good benefits.

      Pros

      Hy-Vee has a truly entrepeneurial attitude at the management level. Store managers are given the opportunity to run their stores as if they owned them. You are also compensated well for success.

      Cons

      Be prepared for long hours, but that is normal for any retail venue.

      Pros

      A good place to build 'people skills' and learn how to interact with customers face to face. The customer interaction is usually friendly, and tips (while not technically accepted) may be presented to the employee based on performance. There are plenty of areas to train in (Meat Counter, Dairy, Customer Service, etc.) and generally mediocre compensation for the work expected. It is a good first job.

      Cons

      There is a lack of competitive compensation, accompanied by poor management and poor employee morale. Depending on the department, there can be a lot of personal dramatic issues and story telling. Also, there is a sever lack of 'creativity' required for any position in any department. Usually any new ideas are frowned upon unless your manager comes up with them.
