Store managers will treat their employees like garbage, work you until you die young. There are no raises for salary or hourly employees. Go work elsewhere. One store hired someone with no Hy-Vee experience and gave them a super higher up position... — read more
Is Walmart a better place to work?
Short answer is yes. Discounts, higher pay, free phones, flexible schedules, closed Thanksgiving Day. Everything Hy-Vee offers and more.
So damn glad I’m gone
I left at the beginning of the year and here’s what I can tell you about my experience there towards the end of my employment. It felt like I was married to an abusive spouse who kept telling me I’d never have it as good with someone else. No matter... — read more

Early retirement question
My biggest wish is to be able to retire earlier because the situation has become unbearable, especially for older people like me. I hear that many have managed to retire earlier, but I wonder how much more reduced benefits will I receive? Are the... — read more
Do you still like working here?
I'm one of the old-timers here, two decades and counting. I always enjoyed my job and was satisfied with my pay and benefits, until recently. Things seem to be changing around here. It's much less about respecting your employees and much more about... — read more

Mask Guidance Please!
Are we still wearing them or not. If you're fully vaccinated, what's the point in still wearing them?
Official Mask Off Day
Stop wearing your red HyVee mask starting May 14th. Enough is enough.
When did it become acceptable?
I keep hearing coworkers wanting to be laid off so they can collect unemployment. I don’t understand how that can be a better option than having a J-O-B. In my day unemployment was used as a last resort, but it seems to be the “rage” now. I still... — read more
Store director are now under paid store managers.
Store directors went from commission to salary with a huge pay cut. Hey ra–ywhat’s the incentive to do well now? I heard most people at cooperative just got a huge bonus for doing well this last year? Does anyone know if that’s true? — read more
Treat PT Like c--p
I know PT employees who work more than FT and are treated like c––p. They can't give PT FT status due to hours need cut but they can hire 37 new PT in one week.
Starting Pay.
Our CEO says it's important to compete with Amazon, Target and Wal-Mart. He wants to be the best place to work in America. The above mentioned companies starting pay is 15 dollars an hour. How about paying us like them if you want to compete with... — read more

How bad is attrition?
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
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

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

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?

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

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
