Pros

Flexible hours. Diversity. Generally nice co-workers.

Cons

Overworked with a skeleton crew and told that we will not be getting any more staff except one cook. You will never get full-time, the only time you might is if the only full-time in your department quits, and even then they may give it to some new person, or just not care at all. Underpaid to where groceries are never affordable and can't even pay for health insurance. Constantly adding more work from corporate without them knowing the job. Corporate said "get rid of the most popular items, the customers will love it." Supposed to be employee owned, but its definitely corporate owned.

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.
