Pros

Depending on what store you are in there is a sense of family within the employees and department managers. Hyvee is fast paced and is always something new.

Cons

Hyvee does not take care of their employees. If hurt at work HR will undermine your compensation process by lying about time lines and what is needed to be completed. In my experience, the HR in my store was allowed to ask other employees to say that a manager was not hurt at work, thankfully for that manager the employee had some integrity and told the truth. Once your worker compensation case is proven to be true HyVee's insurance will delay all payments to doctors, insurance, prescriptions and will not return phone calls. HY-Vee will also delay any treatment that you are supposed to have along with not providing proper insurance information. This will lead to you trying to be reimbursed after having to run everything thru your personal insurance. HyVee does not care about its employees and allows HR in stores to make decisions that negate what trained doctors in the best hospitals in the US have dictated in order to try to get out of laying for an injury at work. This Is NOT a company that you will want to work for. It does not matter what position you are in, if that store does not have a strong Store Director with integrity you will not be taken care of. I loved my job and would have went back in a heartbeat if I could have until HyVee made it impossible and personal.

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

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.
