Pros

Great place to work with a very diverse group of co-workers. Most co-workers are great to work with and it does at times work with your schedule. It can be rewarding when a customer actually appreciates all the time and effort put into helping them as best as possible. They do have some pretty decent health benefits as well as long as you are not part time.

Cons

The one major issue is having to work almost every holiday, (although this is retail and should be expected) and it can be hard to get certain weekends off that might be needed, unless it is for a vacation and vacation time is being used. Promotions can take time as well, it would be better to constantly move to different stores if you are looking to advance quicker. As with anywhere, there are some people that are difficult to work with and can potentially create more work for you as you pick up their slack.

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.
