Pros

flexible time off when requested, although expect to work weekends some co workers were cool good bonus for full time if your store director isnt an idiot

Cons

where do i begin... it seems as if they protect those that will never leave the company because even if they suck at work or life in general hyvee wants longevity. management is often times incompetent and cares more about "drinking the koolaid" and kissing ass than they do about how hard you work. special benefits are given to those that cry and complain, not those who work hard and do a good job. long days, crap pay. recently took away sunday and holliday pay which was an extra dollar an hour more, even mc donalds offers holliday premium becoming more of a socialist company, not rewarding those who work harder than others with incentives.

Pros

1. Most of the managers are young and easy to get along with. 2. It is easy to get time off when you want it or need it. 3. The people I work with are fun but some of the high schoolers are inmature. 4. The wage is okay.

Cons

1. The bad things about working there being a part time employee when the managers change something they do not tell you. It is very annoying as a part time employee not knowing what is going on as part timers do not get meetings. 2. Some of the managers need to praise employees more often for doing a good job. 3. The managers need to wait to correct someone when the customer is gone. 4. Hardly any benefits to part time employees and would not be able to live off of this wage. 5. They need to train new employee's better.
