Debt load
Anyone know HyVee's debt load? That's how you'll be able to tell if they are moving South. Gotta think it's pretty high, considering they have to pay their share holders a 15% annual return.
"Best place to work in India"
Remember when Randy said he wanted to make Hy-Vee "The best place to work in America"? Then why is every IT position that opens up now being filled by positions in India? Someone at HST quits or retires, and leadership pushes to backfill in India... — read more
So it looks like HyVee isn’t going to expand to southern states
Hey randy what happened. You said HyVee was going to expand down south. You even got mad when we told you it wasn’t possible. You posted a video about we are still going to build stores in the south. Well it’s been 2 years now and you still haven’t... — read more
“Hy-Vee Perks” Launch
Nobody cares that it’s Free and easy… It’s honestly a hassle for everyone, why couldn’t corporate come out with a better plan to switch people over instead of throwing every store and employee under the bus like they always do, I tell you what, us... — read more
End of fiscal
Can't wait to see the numbers for our year end fiscal close this month. I'm a little nervous wondering what kind of knee jerk reaction corporates going to make.
401k match
Target matches 5%, Walmart matches 6%. Really sad that the "Best place to work in America" (eye roll) is only matching half of 7% (3.5%).
Time for a union
UAW is making major gains with the big 3 automakers. UPS workers won an amazing contract. Maybe it is time we unionize and start demanding a real share of the profits, not just the scraps they give us in bonus checks after the the executive suite... — read more
Price comparison - WDM office please pay attention
Because I know the corporate office monitors this site, I know as an employee this is a good way to anonymously get this information to them. Direct price comparison between the Grimes store and the Grimes Walmart. 9/9/23 Cento Tomatoes, Peeled... — read more
HyVee is in hot water again.
HyVee is in hot water again for firing a re--rded person. HyVee mistreats all of their employees. It come as no big surprise that they have fired a re--rded person. HyVee wants to be the #1 place to work at while they stab all of their employees in... — read more

Potential store closings
I heard a rumor today from a vendor of hyvee that said that there are potential store closings on the horizon. I was wondering if anyone else heard the same thing or what stores are being talked about?
July numbers
I wonder how corporate will react if the July numbers are terrible especially with the indy car race coming up this weekend. At the store I work at there slashing labor faster than a ship sinking in the ocean.
2 new stores
Does anyone know how the 2 new huge stores are doing, Green Bay and Gretna? I'd be interested to know how the staffing is going. I know that good help is hard to find and HyVee is not known to pay for good help.
If HyVee was a public traded company Randy wouldn’t have last past 2018
HyVee stock would have crashed by now if they were on the open market. The quarterly return are terrible right now. HyVee is lucky they don’t have real stock holders. Yes they have stock holders that get to vote but when you vote. don’t ever go... — read more
Maybe they think they are doing a great thing?
It wouldn't surprise me if corporates thought they're doing a great thing, while in reality, because of their decisions, this place is sinking deeper and deeper. Too many inflated egos.
Closing another store
Has anyone heard about the North Ottumwa hyvee closing at the end of the year?
I'm too tired to look for a job
Maybe this was their goal from the start. Cut enough people that those of us who are left are breaking our backs every day to the point where I can't even think about even going out anymore for fun, not to mention looking for another job. Like this... — read more
Regional bakeries
I saw some job postings in various areas and was curious. Anyone know what impact to stores will be or what these may be like to work in?
HyVee has cut their labor so deep
That it is really affecting the stores on everything. If HyVee was running an NFL franchise and was looking to cut labor. They would only have 11 players playing both sides of the ball with no bench help. They are asking store to run labor that... — read more
Changing ad days…again
Switching Ad days from Wednesday to Monday. Plus all the other cr-p they throw at us last minute. When you ask questions from corporate you get snippy answers. It’s becoming a po-p show.
Store conditions
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
More layoffs
Are rumors about more layoffs true?
The pleasure of a director failure.
Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing a director fail at HyVee. I’ve seen so many drive the bus over fellow manager of to look good to move up the rank. They will give up everything. treat everyone around them as a chess piece just to be given... — read more
Career advice.
Does anyone think it’s a good idea to make HyVee a career? Ive met a lot of great and smart employees wasting their time at HyVee. A lot of employees have degrees. I’ve seen people work their butts off to make it to director over the last 15 years... — read more
Sinking ship
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?
Nothing is right at Hy-Vee anymore
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
Either give us more people or close us!
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
Discount update?
Any news on the employee discount? Rumor about Closing stores in rural areas?
CLOSE NON PRODUCING STORES
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.
Be prepared for big changes coming after the poor inventory results
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
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
Foolish moves
A good question that I don't have an answer to: How can they expand nationwide when they are losing money now?
Quarterly numbers
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.
Is this true?
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
Indy Car - please explain.
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 is PROFIT.
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
HyVee can’t have it both ways.
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 doesn’t retain good talent.
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
