I left HyVee a 18 months ago and hasn’t be inside one since. Last weekend I was at a HyVee store in Omaha. The store was totally trashed. There was trash all over the the floor throughout the store. The merchandise was terrible. I see that basin must... —  read more 

Are rumors about more layoffs true?

It's sad how this company is sinking. Maybe there is no way to stop it, but I believe there are still ways that leadership could at least slow down that sinking?

Here is one question i have for hyvee board of directors. How many employees of 15 years of service have left hyvee over last 2 years. The first 13 years of 17 years at hyvee i hyvee was good employeer. Took care of customers and hard work was... —  read more 

I'm tired of having to be in three places at once because Hy-Vee management thinks we can run the store even if they cut our employees and hours to the bone. It can't be done! I've met more pi---d-off customers in the last two months than in my ten... —  read more 

Any news on the employee discount? Rumor about Closing stores in rural areas?

Pretty simple business plan. If a store is not making money, and hasn't for awhile, cut your losses. Why is that such a hard concept for them to understand? You're losing market share anyway.

HyVee is going to be looking at dramatic way to save cost. Some of the ideas I hear floating around is layoffs, having one dept manager manage two departments , taking away the store bonus program , cutting benefits, cutting labor hours by 15 to 20%... —  read more 

HyVee doesn’t want to pay employees. Layoffs in 2020 were targeted toward seasoned high paying employees. Now 3 years later store lack experience needed to win those battles everyday at store level. They targeted those employees to chase profit not... —  read more 

A good question that I don't have an answer to: How can they expand nationwide when they are losing money now?

Anyone hear how quarterly inventory going? Our store was horrible. Talked to 2 others and they're not good. Should be interesting next few weeks.

By the way HyVee’s warehouse charges to much. It’s a sad thing when it cheaper for the stores to buy product from an outside vendor than it’s own warehouse. Can anyone tell me why? ??? It's hard to believe something like this is true. If this is... —  read more 

So we spend silly money on sponsorship for Indy car. The teams we sponsor are awful. I dont believe they have ever finished podium since we sponsored them. They are racing at Texas and all 3 cars are laps, yes laps down. What is the fascination with... —  read more 

HyVee’s new slogan should be profit above all else. They don’t care about customers wants or needs anymore. The same goes for the employees working at HyVee. Just make them a high profit. Don’t care how, just make more profit for them to blow on... —  read more 

When is HyVee going to figure out that they can’t expect stores to be profitable when HyVee warehouse is over charging stores for product. You can’t be making record profits in the warehouse and expect the store to do well. HyVee warehouse keeps... —  read more 

HyVee has no desire to retain good talent. They are glad when high paying career employees are gone. Reason being is because they don’t want to pay them high wages for their experience. Remember good talented retail employees aren’t cheap and cheap... —  read more 

How can these big wigs sit in their glass palace and let this happen? They have to know what's going on at store level don't they?

I’m so stressed anymore that there are times when the alternative seems like the only way out. I can’t handle the constant changes & lack of help. I wish something would change but it’s not.

HyVee used to be a place where people wanted to work. Department managers were respected and knew the industry. They cared. Not so much anymore. Department managers now are young people that really don't care if their department makes a profit... —  read more 

HyVee has failed the last ten years! You ask why? Because HyVee has spent the last decade trying not to be a grocery store. They spent all of their efforts on bad ideas that never really had a return on investments. That’s why HyVee is in such bad... —  read more 

I'm so glad that someone here mentioned it. Why is that some stores that haven't been profitable since the beginning of the pandemic until today aren't closed already? Why is it so difficult for the management to make the decision to close... —  read more 

Any truth?

I find it curious to constantly hear people say that Hy vee is too big to fail. Is it really so, or is it just people trying to find an excuse for not putting enough effort into looking for something new? Too big to fail is the lamest argument... —  read more 

Over the weekend a couple of big banks have failed. I wonder if it’s just the begin or the end? With banks trying to limit their exposure to risk they will limit how much money they will loan out. They won’t be loaning money out to risky companies... —  read more

Well great news is HyVee employee discount is back! I’m glad to see that HyVees new ceo and staff still doesn’t know how to lead a company. I was so excited for Jeremy Gosch to take over for randy but it has turned out that Jeremy Gosch is a mini... —  read more 

The problem with HyVee is the corporate Vice Presidents and above is feel like HyVee is too big to fail. They act like they don’t have to answer to anyone. They act like they are invincible and nothing can hurt them. The truth is that kind of mind... —  read more

If I ever trusted the company's leadership to begin with, I definitely don't trust them anymore. I think that most will agree that they don't know what they are doing!?

Georgia, why lie? You said that you monitor the discount transactions and can point out fraud when it happens? Why punish the honest, hardworking employees? I have zero respect for this company. Jeremy didn't even have the b@ll$ to show up on... —  read more 

Just curious why they don't close underperforming stores. With every big chain I world would think they have stores losing money or barely making anything. Wouldn't it make sense to get rid of them and tighten their belts on the others?

Jeremy will be the first CEO fired from HyVee. We all know HyVee has failed under Randy’s leadership. Randy has made Jeremy the new CEO while he is still in charge. You know Jeremy can’t make any big decision with out Randy’s approval. Jeremy is just... —  read more

Former executive staff member here, wanted to let you all know that Walmart gives out an “employee discount” to Hy-Vee employees to the tune of 20-30% and you don’t even have to do anything 😂

Boycott them and tell everyone you know to only buy the things they are losing money on. Everyone. Iowa news!

Curious to read what you think is the real reason why are we losing the employee discount?

If you get anything out of this, we are in for an ugly time ahead. We are losing our employee discount (10%). How many will shop elsewhere now!

Due to 'fradulent' activity. BS, I've seen what safety and security can do. Seen employees get walked out after one day of customer service training because they abused paid outs. Seen employees get caught adding discount to family members... —  read more
