Pros

Decent co-workers. Help people shop for groceries, stay feed.

Cons

They (managers, fellow workers) treated me during my daylong stint as an Aisles Online Shopper in November 2022. While I got a decent first impression from the person who who hired me on, both of the bosses that I worked with on my shift were so authoritarian and condescending that I decided to quit the job the same day I began. The job only had two saving graces, (a) I had very kind co-workers and (b) I got meaning out of helping individuals find their groceries. In essence, my issues with the management were twofold. First, there was a rigidly enforced dress code (e.g., I had to trim my beard to a certain length). Certain elements of this code, like my example, were overly strict and infringed upon my personal autonomy (and on others' as well, I am sure). Second, and more importantly, I got the distinct impression that these managers did not want to do their jobs (i.e., were lazy). While I was asked for my time off requests beforehand, I got called into the office after shift by these two bosses and told that my schedule "was not going to fly" because "I have too many people to schedule and cannot manage X number of individuals." The gist of our conversation was, "Sorry, but we cannot accommodate your needs because we are too lazy to do our jobs." Utter incompetence and disregard for others' well-being permeates this store's upper management. If you can, please avoid working here.

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.
