Pros

Good pay for long term employees, ok benefits, decent group of employees. Sometimes have time for some comraderie but wondering for how long.

Cons

Wasteful spending, sexual favors in management make for big promotions for young women. And throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks instead of listening to customers. Offers jobs then liquidates them. No regard for full time and management level employees makes for a toxic work environment. Stressful most of the time. Sometimes people get fired for voicing their opinion, so I've kept mine to myself until I found out about this anonymous page.

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.
