Pros

Good benefits, good compensation. Hy-Vee allows employees to think for themselves as far as virtually everything goes, from displays to pricing structure. Each store is essentially independently operated. We are a very customer service oriented company. We teach to our employees to do whatever it takes to make a customer happy, and to give them a reason to shop in our stores.

Cons

Holidays and weekends are a must, given it is a retail grocery store, so if you don't like that, I suggest looking elsewere. It is like anything else, a corporate business, so there is competiton to rise to the top. There are times when you may just want to hang it up, but persistance and drive will get you where you need to go in this company.

Pros

A lot of career opportunities, not overly long retail hours, good compensation, can get time off when needed, good benefits and vacation time off, always someone there if you have questions and/or concerns, new stores are opening up, nice and clean work environment

Cons

Have to work some holiday hours, which is normal for retail though. Need to wear nice slacks, white shirt and tie every day

Pros

This is one retail company that really seems to have the customer in mind. Everything that is done is done for the benefit of the customer.

Cons

Assistant Manager position is the "crap" position of the company. You catch the crap from customer, catch the crap from employees that you manage, and catch the crap from upper store management. Hard work, very little positive feedback or learning opportunity, and retail pays squat.
