Generally a nice place to work, albeit mediocre wages. The general morale is great, long timers are happy to talk to you and fill you in. Company is "employee owned" but doesn't try to work with staff with most things. Each department is their own little family, tight knit and fun! There does seem to be lack of communication between corporate and individual stores & their staff. At the end of the day, working for Hyvee is a great first time or part time position.
I love the honest family feel you get from working with the employees. Most everyone wants to see their co-workers flourish and will do and help with anything that needs to be done. The benefits are nothing to sneeze at with a 10% employee discount and medical, dental, life insurance, along with 401K matching.
However, the biggest thing I would say to change is the amount of corporate meddling and disconnect. We are constantly asked to take on more and more responsibilities without hiring extra people. The people in corporate, including our CEO, have no idea what really happens in the store and don't seem to care. They only care about their own bonus without compensating their people properly. In regards to COVID, they did all the right things, just one step behind.
I loved working for this company when I first started, but in the past 3 years, something has changed...and not for the better.

Management was average to poor, with the occasional phenomenal manager. Often the best ones were overworked and overtired. Not great pay for my qualifications, was kept as a part-time worker but often worked barely under 40 hours a week. I suppose growth opportunities exist, as well as benefits. Relative stability.
