Pros

Its part time which helps out high school students. The customers were very nice. Resonable prices which bring back repeat customers.

Cons

The management do not care about any one but theirselves and the people who are in their clique. The insurance is absolutely horrible. Anybody who is not a high school student cannot afford to work there. You will only get 15 hours if lucky. Managers do not know how to do the jobs employees do. The helpful smile in every aisle is a joke. Everyone back stabs the other employees.

Pros

You get to constantly move around the store thru the different departments. Depending on the hours you work you can potentially learn how to do little things within each department, for example the deli or meat counters, which in turn opens an opportunity to get additional hours if needed when AOL doesn't have the business to keep all the shoppers shopping. Hyvee was always very good about giving you the opportunity to help in other areas of the store if your department was lacking hours or business to give you the full 40 for your work week.

Cons

The management/ chain of command often gets a little confusing as you have department managers, assiant managers, general mangers and a director. Often times I felt as if assiant managers sometimes gave different directions then the department manager would give almost condescending what you were told from your direct manager, but would fail to communicate with the department manager this info, causing conflict with employees being told to do it one way and then also getting asked why things were done that way after being trained to do it another way. Basically no communication by your assiant to the department manager causing internal conflict.
