Pros

Hy-Vee is a great place to make friends; I’ve worked at two locations and have heard the same from many coworkers, that they’ve made lots of friends while working at Hy-Vee. It’s definitely a social environment, and so many of the people I know from Hy-Vee have become roommates, kept in contact with others after they quit, even gotten married.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between upper management and managers who are actually on the floor working with the employees personally every day; also a disconnect between upper management and corporate. It seems like sometimes rules are just made on a whim and the people who actually have to enforce things and follow these rules aren’t asked for their opinions beforehand.

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

Paid breaks. Can be lazy and get the same pay as a hard worker.

Cons

Your high efforts are not rewarded. Benefits only include the time you put into retail that can be considered experience. Although you have the title for a specific position you will still be forced to complete tasks of another position. Although I was a checker, I was also put on hot food line, samples, cart duty, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning spills, watching self check out, stocking, and many more. Any sense of enjoyment with other coworkers gets shut down quick by management. Availability can be ignored by management. Lots of drama with coworkers. No penalty for inappropriate and unprofessional work. Management cares about business more than employees even though it is “employee owned”.
