Pros

flexible time off when requested, although expect to work weekends some co workers were cool good bonus for full time if your store director isnt an idiot

Cons

where do i begin... it seems as if they protect those that will never leave the company because even if they suck at work or life in general hyvee wants longevity. management is often times incompetent and cares more about "drinking the koolaid" and kissing ass than they do about how hard you work. special benefits are given to those that cry and complain, not those who work hard and do a good job. long days, crap pay. recently took away sunday and holliday pay which was an extra dollar an hour more, even mc donalds offers holliday premium becoming more of a socialist company, not rewarding those who work harder than others with incentives.

Pros

Its part time which helps out high school students. The customers were very nice. Resonable prices which bring back repeat customers.

Cons

The management do not care about any one but theirselves and the people who are in their clique. The insurance is absolutely horrible. Anybody who is not a high school student cannot afford to work there. You will only get 15 hours if lucky. Managers do not know how to do the jobs employees do. The helpful smile in every aisle is a joke. Everyone back stabs the other employees.

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.
