Pros

If you're a people person and have a good attitude, you will find this job very rewarding. I wouldn't trade some customer experiences for the world. When in public or meeting new people in town, they usually say, "Do you work at Hy-Vee?" This is good honest work and I've been fortunate to have such a great team to help teach and learn from.

Cons

Its a fast paced job, so you get physically drained and usually mentally exhausted. Most of the shift is spent on your feet. I can, at times, find myself doing 3-4 things at once. This role is the most challenging job of Hy-Vee - you are the direct connection between management and the customer. But, stay focused, ask the right questions, delegate, follow up, and don't take too many things personally - That's what I've done and I feel successful in my role.

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.
