Good when it's good, when it's bad, look out. - Department Manager Hy-Vee Employee Review

Pros

You get to meet some pretty great people – customers, coworkers, vendors, and salespeople. If your store is making money, you might get a quarterly bonus. A "good" quarterly bonus was about $350, but it varies by your wage and your store.

Cons

When it's bad, everyone is replaceable. And while you're working off your rear end at the store level, the corporate officers are getting promotions and new titles but not really changing responsibilities. The insurance plan is a joke, $35 to see a doctor or $75 to see a specialist (in 2015). I had someone at the doctor's office actually laugh when I showed her my insurance card.

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

I loved the company and the pay.

Cons

The management was not so great. The lead was very vulgar and used language to the employees that should never have been used.
