Pros

Used to pay well. Managers USED to make coin with bonus, which was incentive to run a store exceptionally well. A few good people sprinkled here and there

Cons

Egos and greed from corporate got in the way of being successful and making some good money. Too many managers are arrogant and don't always treat their "underlings" well. Back in the day When Dwight was Prez, common sense and respectability were the norm. Then, RP and his cronies changed course. Benefits have been hacked away at since. The company is a shell of its old self.

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.
