Pros

Really flexible schedules if you need something off. Great for students. Health insurance is really great. If your store makes money there’s a profit sharing based on your pay and hours worked that quarter (avg about 1000-1200 over a year for me at my store).

Cons

You work every weekend and holidays too you don’t ask off. Management is all about cutting hours and trying to move themselves up the corporate ladder where the money is. Company really use to take care of their stores but now it’s all about cutting hours and early retirements for those who make too much. Grocery business is hard though but HyVee doesn’t really seem to know how to change with the times.

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.
