Hy-Vee is a great employer.
Back up Accounting Coordinator (Current Employee), Macomb, IL –
Pros: great benefits
Hy-Vee was a great company to work for. My co-workers were like family to me. Hy-Vee offers great benefits. The only reason for leaving was due to my relocating. If I could have transferred I would have done that, but there are no Hy-vee stores where I have relocated.

Very challenging but rewarding when it comes to customers
Cake Designer (Current Employee), Gladstone, MO –
Pros: great benifits
Cons: lack of room for advancment
My typical work day consists of meeting deadlines by minutes and hours all day every day. Not only the customers deadlines but the managers deadlines on top of the customers deadlines. It is stressful but I like the challenge.

My co-workers are wonderful and make it feel like another family.

Hardest part of my job is to get the management to understand – more...  my deadlines with it comes to "our" boss which would be the consumers, versus their own timelines. It is in short a balancing act. – less

Productive and I enjoy working with my co-workers.
Convenience Store Clerk (Current Employee), Lawrence, KS –
Pros: i feel that the staff are very nice.
Cons: i don't have any cons about working at hy-vee, we are offered benefits as part-time employees, if we choose to participate.
A typical day is working with customers who come into the convenience store/gas station to purchase gas or merchandise.

I've learned that there is a lot more to working in a convenience store/gas station setting.

The management staff, I feel, are understanding and they are fun to work with and to work for.

My coworkers are fun to work with. We get – more...  along well.

The hardest part of the job for me was learning how to use the cash register and I'm still learning different things, inevitably each day presents some new and different.

The most enjoyable part of the job is learning how to use the cash register because it is something I had very little experience with and meeting and getting to know the customers, my managers, and coworkers better. – less

Not the best place to work due to lack of respect from managers.
Cashier/Courtesy (Former Employee), Clinton, IA –
Wasn't pleased with my job at Hy-Vee at all. I enjoyed my job at first but began to lose hours heavily when new employees were hired every week and managers show no respect for their employees.

Smile
Deli Associate (Current Employee), Omaha, NE –
Pros: flexible hours
Cons: no health care for part-time
I come in and open the deli. I have to go through all the product before I can even start my day. I see what we need and what we have to toss. This takes up big part of my day, but I have to juggle things around to make sure everything gets done in a timely manner. People are very friendly and always willing to help you even if you don't ask. I think – more...  the most enjoyable thing about my job is that when I can help people actually leave the store happier when then when they came in. – less
