Pros

Mind you this is completely store based, but the people are generally pretty awesome. Also, if you get a kick out of helping people, you will have lots of opportunities to do that. If you are willing to work hard, and show that you will do whats needed for the benefit of the store, you will be treated with a tremendous amount of respect. The bonus program (for full-timers) for our store roughly adds a dollar an hour to your pay according to a recent benefit statement.

Cons

Pay. Whether your full-time or part-time. When part-times got their hours reduced due to Obama Care, pay is an even bigger issue. Unless you have ambitions to climb the ranks to be a store director, or run your own department, you will be hard-pressed to see yourself making a career with this company. The part-time bonus program is also pretty weak. Proponents will say thats 35 bucks you didnt have before, but if someone came to me with a check for 35 dollars and told me to care more, I would be offended.

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

You get to constantly move around the store thru the different departments. Depending on the hours you work you can potentially learn how to do little things within each department, for example the deli or meat counters, which in turn opens an opportunity to get additional hours if needed when AOL doesn't have the business to keep all the shoppers shopping. Hyvee was always very good about giving you the opportunity to help in other areas of the store if your department was lacking hours or business to give you the full 40 for your work week.

Cons

The management/ chain of command often gets a little confusing as you have department managers, assiant managers, general mangers and a director. Often times I felt as if assiant managers sometimes gave different directions then the department manager would give almost condescending what you were told from your direct manager, but would fail to communicate with the department manager this info, causing conflict with employees being told to do it one way and then also getting asked why things were done that way after being trained to do it another way. Basically no communication by your assiant to the department manager causing internal conflict.
