Pros

Good pay as long as you don't mind working all the hours and having no family life.

Cons

Great pay if you don't mind working 60-65 hours a week. They treat their saleried employees like garbage and do not allow them to have a life outside of work. They also set you up to fail by giving you unreal numbers to achieve. For example, my department was ranked above average in the market and I was still let go because the new director didn't agree with me and thought we were on diffrent pages even though it was very hard to succeed when you are given a crew that is not up to par and they (upper mang.) will not allow you to let them go or move them to another department.

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.
