Pros

There are many full-time workers who care about what they do and who they work with, they value the relationship between the full-timers and part-timers and work to achieve the most efficient workday, creating a fun but hardworking environment.

Cons

Senior-level management degrades the work of its full-timers, using inappropriate language and jokes that provide an uncomfortable workspace to their employees. Customers are objectified and hard work is rarely appreciated, instead power tripping over employees to bring morale down. Senior-level management seems to have little idea of what goes on behind each department, not knowing what is best for the store and making erratic decisions without the department or the customer's best interest in mind.

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.
