Pros

gas discount. that is the only good thing i feel towards hy-vee at this point. and i do like being able to buy the damaged items at a discounted price.

Cons

unless you're in management, or a friend of management, you are made to feel very small and insignificant. i have been embarrassed in front of customers for mistakes i've made, or for things that were not my fault. i've been reminded of the dress code while others wear what they please. among other things.while others are visiting at their friends registers i have been given cleaning jobs. our store is very cliquish. if you're not in the clique then you don't exist. and most members of management are part of the clique. i am being scheduled past what i put down for my availability.

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.
