Pros
You can get hours if you’re willing to get bounced around departments but even then only a certain limit
Cons
Almost impossible to get full time unless you’re under 30 and willing to deal with too much stress for too little money but when you’re only in your early 20s and go from cashier to store ops in five years or less it’s close the mid-aged and on are rarely seen as full time potential. The only full time folks above about 30 I notice these days have been with Hy-Vee for 30 years or so OR hired in from outside the company into a corporate position. I was set to dig into a new career path and was so set to be the next full time designer, even tho by default, and was even given an interview like I was a serious consideration and wouldn’t ya know , 3 weeks later another local hyvee closed and the majority of their people were given the red carpet in departments and positions while native workers to the store have been replaced , demoted, forced to take positions at different locations or be without a position at all , . Myself, after 3 years of training, hard work, team player employeeship, giving it my best foot forward , flexible to store needs in covering hours etc. was a lady designer having interviewed for a full time designer spot I’m sure someone had to know was never gonna be available. I learned that I make less an hour sheet almost 4 years of working than my 20 year old daughter makes an hour abs she’s worked there a year. Abs literally everyone in my department makes at least 2.25/hr more than me. I used to love going to work there. Now I feel used like a cheap piece of trash and only refrain from letting my performance show how little I care anymore because I need a job and decent reference should God willing I find one
