Hy-Vee reviews

Everyone in management takes Hy-Vee way too seriously as far as a life-long career. Most have never worked in the real world anywhere else. It would serve them well to have a little perspective. It's a job to most of us employees, not a lifestyle. I'm not working 50 hrs a week, sorry. Benefits are mediocre as they try to sell you as many insurance and financial products (Midwest Heritage Bank, a Hy-Vee Company!) as possible so you have no take home money, it all gets spent with the company . Borderline illegal on things such as telling employees they can't discuss pay among one another. Forcing you to do certain health oriented things to get a break on health premiums such as flu shots/bio-metric screenings (this helps them too). They can't make you do those things, nor can they fire you for talking about wages, legally.

They claim to have great scheduling, but that is the reason I quit. (It's a long story) This job generally just made me depressed. It wasn't a super upbeat and positive place to be. I didn't have many friends and my coworkers were not very welcoming. I got really upset any time that I had to go to work because I knew it was going to bring me down. That might just be me though, a lot of people enjoy it.
