Pros of working at Hy-Vee

The pros working for Hy-vee was that there were good opportunities to move up the ladder.

Cons of working at Hy-Vee

Within the 2 years I worked at Hy-Vee I think the main con I experienced was the treatment of employees. Most of the employees that worked there were college students. We all had classes but it was very difficult for most of us to receive more than 10 hours a week. Another con would be the favoritism specifically in my department. I worked hard but I never got the same treatment as some of the workers that were good friends with the manager. To me I felt like this was the biggest down fall for my department because we were so divided. There were the people that were friends and hung out with the boss on their free times and there were the workers that worked hard and were treated differently because of this.

Hy-Vee benefits

As a part time employee I didn't receive many perks but the one I did enjoy was on weekends if you worked you could get a free meal or Starbucks drink during your shift. This was great if you worked nights like I did and got hungry and didn't bring any packed food for your break if you got one.

What do you like best about Hy-Vee's CEO and the leadership team?

I liked how little I was around the CEO and the leadership team. In the Hy-Vee I worked at they weren't always around so you were able to get what really needs done faster and more efficiently.

How would you improve Hy-Vee's culture?

I would improve the health of the food and make sure things where more sanitary along with allowing the workers that aren't dealing with customers to wear only one head phone.

How did you prepare for the Hy-Vee interview?

I came well dressed with all my documents including social security and birth certificate

How does your compensation at Hy-Vee compare to the industry average?

The compensation was about average I would say just because it depended a lot on what you were doing and how long you have been there.

What's the diversity at Hy-Vee like?

It was good if you meet the requirements then you are hired.

What brings you the most joy at Hy-Vee?

Being able to communicate with people and building a relationship with them so work doesn't always feel like work, be able to keep your mind in a good place.
