Pros
Decent benefits, 401k, okay insurance. Flexible hours, opportunity for advancement in each store. Hard work is generally rewarded.
Cons
Before the retirement of the longtime CEO, Ric Jurgens, in 2012, HyVee cared much more about its employees. After Randy Edeker was elected as the new CEO, HyVee became much more corporate in the way it was run. Hours were cut on all part time employees to below the level to provide health insurance. The last department I worked in, Product Management, used to have to come in at 2 AM on Wednesday morning to run the new ad. Recently, that was changed company wide to Sunday morning at 2AM, essentially making it impossible for product management to have a weekend social life.
