I work for another grocery chain and have been thinking of leaving. The attrition rate we have is astronomical due to toxic work environment, sparse pay, employee engagement and other things. Does this company also have high attrition? Can anyone... — read more
Topics regarding layoffs at Hy-Vee
Start of the year cuts?
Any news on that?
So much hate
I see so much hate for the company here and it saddens me. Hy-Vee is not perfect, but it's not as bad as some people make it seem to be. I enjoy what I do and I like (most of) the team I work with. Customers are a pain but that’s the price of being... — read more
Christmas Bonus Thank You
Thank You to HY-Vee for the Christmas Bonus this year. The 1 week of free Dental, Vision, Long term and short term disability insurance that totaled about $7 will come in handy this year. Also congrats on a record breaking year in sales.
What would you do?
I am at a complete loss here. I had to deal with an abusive customer and when things didn’t get resolved I had to get my manager involved. It totally threw me off because he threw me under the bus. It didn’t matter to him that the customer was... — read more
Something to look forward to?
We have the veteran’s day free breakfast on November 11th and I’m wondering if anyone else is looking forward to it? In my area it’s always nice to see vets show up with their pins and hats, active duty in BDUs or dress uniforms etc. I am a veteran... — read more

Best Place to Work? Not any more.
I've worked for Hy-Vee for more than 25 years. Our current leadership has a vision of being the best place to work. Working for this company was at one time fun and rewarding. Now it's just exhausting and frustrating. We were once a family oriented... — read more
This is bad
It’s pretty bad when Wal-Mart just finished a restructure and pay protected everyone for a year to give them time to find a new position. Never thought they would treat employees better than Hy-Vee, but here we are. In fact from what I’ve heard from... — read more
Hy-Vee commercials
After the Pence/Harris debates as flipping thru channels, I saw our Hy-vee commercials...hopeful put in both camps base news channels.....
Are RIFs coming or not?
Read and heard a few rumors, but I can't find any concrete info.
This is what gets me...
I’ve been with this company for almost 15 years and it has very seldom disappointed me. However, this last year has completely changed that. I’ve seen good, hardworking coworkers being laid off, and extra work loads assigned during the aftermath... — read more
HyVee can fired you if you are working more that your scheduled hours
The Hyvee store I have worked at for 7 years has started to show it's "second wave" of job cuts. I was surprised to see they were offering Part Time benefits, I have worked more close to 40 hours a week and never been hired to full-time at any point... — read more
HyVee having a hard time hiring new help!
Word must be getting out. What a surprise? A friend who worked for HyVee part-time a couple years ago (left to work at Fareway with better pay and benefits) said she got an email out of the blue asking if she wanted to come back because they... — read more
Buckle up folks
Another round of layoffs and A class-action lawsuit incoming.
Masks
Oh how funny it is that Hy-Vee is handing out masks and not requiring them. They are so far right that they are afraid what Supreme Leader Reynolds would say, do, or take away from the cooperate stockholders that they won’t mess with her. As a... — read more
RE - only a high school graduate?
Did you know that the Chairman of the Board/CEO/President of HyVee, Randy Edeker has ONLY a high school education? Look it up, he is a Graduate of English Valley High School. That’s it. Shouldn’t someone with this many titles and this much... — read more

I retired a few years ago but had a friend text me that they were going to close the service meat departments to cut alot of labor. Has anyone seen this yet in there stores or is this what is comming in September? Glad I'm out and don't have to see... — read more
Pay on the back
I like how Randy (in his video last week) says we had the best quarter ever because of the personnel changes that were made at the beginning of the year. No buddy....that's allllll COVID-19. 🤔😲🙄
More changes are brewing...
Ponder me this. Randy announced in his weekly video that beginning September 1 they would offer part-time benefits to employees ONLY. I heard a "rumor" last Friday that more changes are on the horizon starting at the beginning of the year. To... — read more
How are you doing?
A lot (including a world-wide pandemic) has gone on since the layoffs/job cuts/reassignments at HyVee in mid-March. It may not change much to talk about it, but just wondering how everyone is doing? Have you found new jobs? If not, how are you... — read more
HyVee going public???
Ok, HyVee insists - that they aren’t for sale or going bankrupt. Could they be preparing to take HyVee stock public in an IPO (Initial Public Offering on the New York Stock Exchange)??? Mr. Edeker and many of the Board members are most likely at... — read more

Dept Head Bonus
What are the potential bonus % for meat and produce dept heads?
Pharmacist Pay Cuts?
Has anyone heard or has a pharmacist friend affected by recent “market pay cuts” ?
TO RANDY E
We as employees demand YOU practice what YOU preach and we DEMAND you have a mask on in your next week's video. Then we expect YOU to step in our shoes, come stick shelves, ring on register, work in kitchen and meat. Then tell us how much fun it is... — read more
HyVee does NOT care about you!
With record sales across the board, HyVee still has not taken care of their employees. All we get is a discount to spend at the stores so they can make more money. We have sold our souls to the company store. Why hasn't HyVee PAID FOR COVID19... — read more
ENOUGH WITH THE MASKS
Employees have had enough being forced to wear these. Being with Hy-Vee 20 plus years I am now seeing the stress this has on employees. They are not happy, they are turning on each other. STOP THIS MADNESS
Up in flames...
I am so happy I finally decided to leave Hy-Vee. It is absolutely the worst place to work and try to make a life for you. They could care less for you and your family. I no longer shop at Hy-Vee I have switched to aldis and I encourage everyone to... — read more
Hy-Vee is in trouble.
Hy-Vee is in trouble and thanks to the "Virus" it has been delayed but it's just a matter of time before they file for bankruptcy. Just wait........
Wages cut and jobs
My husband had just found out he has to take an $8.00 an hour pay cut and become a stocker after working at a central bakery as Asst. Mgr. This during Coronavirus when they’re making record sales. WTH!? This is what Hy-Vee does to dedicated, hard... — read more
Hy-Vee can and should do better than this
Come on Hy-Vee! Get your act together! Since Covid 19 started, there have been record sales increases company wide. The measly 10% bonus you "handed out" was pathetic. Maybe the top paid employees actually benefited from it? It was a complete joke to... — read more
Forced to wear Face Masks?
A notice was posted today in my store that as of Monday April 27th all employees have to wear a face mask , one provided by hyvee or their own. No training, No medical exam. Nothing. This isn't right, it should be my choice not Randy's.
Stores coping after fulfillment closure?
Just curious how stores are dealing with the increased online orders. Noticed one store lacked space and now has a container building for pick-up storage. Full pallets sitting outside of the building. It looks like a mess, not a good first impression... — read more
Are there any others in this boat?
I was offered cobra insurance after my demotion. Long story short there have been issues filing my paperwork. Every person kept pointing the finger at everyone else. To correct it, I was forced to sign away my cobra insurance. There are still... — read more
Has Hy-vee been sold???
I have noticed , in the last week or so, Krogers has been advertising for help needed in many areas in Iowa. Hmmmm......I wonder what is going on? The last I knew they didn't have any stores in Iowa. Come on Randy...enlighten us. What are you up to... — read more
Does corporate greed have any bounds?
Amid this so called covid-19 pandemic, a company who can't even keep the basics like bread, rice, milk on the shelves is looking to expand curbside meal service via expensive baskets and burgers, while at the same time, bragging about their aisles... — read more
Hy-Vee so-called protection for checkers.
According to my wife who works at Hy-Vee, the shields they have in place for protection are not really adequate for protection from the customers. So once again Hy-Vee doesn't think ahead and ask themselves, is this really protecting our employees or... — read more
