Pros

Good, cheap health insurance. In some positions, very easy. Can get by without doing a whole lot. Very unlikely to get fired, especially once you make full time.

Cons

Pay is often very low for the work expected. However, your mileage may vary. There is a lot of favoritism, and no standard payscale, so some people get paid significantly more to do the same job. It is basically up to the store director. Its retail.. so working holidays, weekends, dealing with customers, etc. Putting up with the class of employees who have fanatical devotion to the company, and therefore will not admit or acknowledge things that need to be improved.

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.
