Pros
This was my first job, out of high school, and I honestly could not have asked for a better way to enter the workforce. As a part-time worker, I had flexibility around my personal life and college schedule. I actively pursued a positive relationship with HR during the entirety of my career with Hy-Vee, and this allowed me to gain experience in different departments, switch stores between my college town and hometown, and I was able to quickly gain the trust of management. Great employee perks, even for part-time positions. They wholly believe in giving every person an opportunity, including those who have disabilities.
Cons
I will say, the experience workers have in this company will likely come down to who the head managers are, as well as the respective store's owner. I started under great ownership, and left shortly after HR and ownership changed hands.
