Pros

Except for a select few, every employee is friendly to the customers and each other. The store is in an outer suburb of Des Moines, but it has more of a small town atmosphere than some of the small town Hy Vee stores that I have shopped. Flexible scheduling and easy to get a day or two off if you ask for it far enough ahead of time. It's a fun place to work and senior management will let you have fun, as long as it's in reason, it shows you're enjoying your work, and you're not neglecting the customer.

Cons

Part time can mean anything from 8 hours a week to 42 hours a week, depending on the time of year and how strapped the store is for help. You really have to work hard and prove yourself to earn that 25 cent raise. And just because you get promoted doesn't mean you're going to get much of an increase in pay with it. Some managers will show their appreciation for the hard work you do, but most of the time it appears unnoticed. Your coworkers notice it more and offer the praise that management can't bring themselves to vocalize.
