Pros

They pay you on time You will have some autonomy, but I hear that's going bye-bye very quickly

Cons

You're upper management will be a mess of young, clicky tools who will kiss the butt of the next up in line while throwing you under the bus. This butt-kissing is very prevalent throughout this Company. You're Job will be very physically demanding They will call you up and expect you to check and bag while other departments get a pass. You will NEVER get a thank you. Hard work doesn't pay here. You will get no help as store managers will cut your labor costs, so it will end up being you and another part time associate to work trucks. You will always be behind the 8 ball. Corporate will send you (pawn off) garbage product with zero chance of it selling. It will expire and you will throw it away. Thousands of dollars of product weekly will get dumped. Your product will most likely be 20%+ cheaper at Walmart, making your 10% discount worthless.

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.
