Pros

Flexible Work Schedule. Nice co workers. Appreciative customers.

Cons

Poor communication from managers. Unskilled in handling disputes. Push employees hard....cool reactions from managers/feel unappreciated. Cutting hours randomly. Indirect retaliation for complaints. Must tow the company line. Obsessive cost measures.....told to go home early or make sure to clock out and in at precise times/at times asked to clock out before your shift is up (minutes are scrutinized), Mistrust of employees (micro managing). Called "Employee owned "( no real feasible benefits0, No input to work conditions. Forever cost cutting. Occasionally placed in dangerous positions. Ladders( w/ no side rails), No attention paid to abilities of workers (e.g. often older workers placed long hours on hauling shopping carts w/no mechanical assistance, Disabilities not recognized. Frenzied atmosphere w/ no team building (like one see @ Trader Joe's for example),

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.
