Pros

Benefits for full-time employees are good, hours can be decent during busy times of the year, and floor level management is mostly fantastic. Pretty easy to find someone to work for you, and the store is kept in good condition.

Cons

Let me just start off by saying Dress Code. Since last May we're required to wear a poorly fitted, incredibly cheap quality button up shirt. After the first wash, buttons fell off and Management told me to have them fixed, even though I had nothing to do with it. Upper Management treats all low-level employees like dirt. I am a very good, hard working employee and have worked at Hy-Vee for over a year and I'm treated as bad as the new kids that don't even try. The Raises are also a complete disappointment, $.25 after a year.

Pros

I really enjoyed my coworkers and the management of the store. There were a handful of people who worked there at the time who weren't necessarily my favorite, but overall the team was good.

Cons

There we no significant cons. The pay is not the highest, but these are mainly entry level jobs.

Pros

Hy-Vee is a great company that truly cares about the communities we serve. Our 14 fundamentals drive both the customer and employee experience, guiding how we treat and serve our customers and each other. Leadership actively seeks employee feedback and uses it to drive meaningful change across all locations. There is a wide variety of jobs and career opportunities in many different areas of the company from retail to supply chain, IT, marketing, and so many more. obust employee benefits include tuition assistance for degrees, certifications, and foundational learning at little to no cost to employees, and the company focuses on promoting from within for most leadership roles.

Cons

As a 24/7 retail business, scheduling can be demanding in some roles — though the variety of positions means there's flexibility to find the right fit. With a large, decentralized workforce spread across hundreds of locations, consistent employee communication is an ongoing area of focus and improvement.
