Just heard that HyVee is going to change the bonus program. Store bonus will be going away. They will now only pay out bonus based on how the total company profit. This mean if the company doesn't profit company wide then no bonus. No longer will... — read more
Revamped Ecommerce?
Have heard they are going to try and revamp the e-commerce program and add automated fulfillment centers in cities. Has anyone else heard about the new direction they are trying to go with this? Good idea? Bad idea? Not sure I suppose.
Corporate
Heard a lot more people at corporate office asked to move to retail jobs. Any info?
They don't care
I probably sound like a broken record but at my store unless you're "one of the boys" (the three or four uppers that's been there for over a decade or more), you are nothing. I found out that a hard working part timer that has been with the company... — read more
Need to increase
Those few folks dealing with ads/programing to stores need more help, . No blame just observation.
The only reason I'm still here
I've been trying to find a new option for a long time now and I haven't had any luck so far. That's the only reason why I'm still here, and I guess the main reason why most of you are still in this mess of a company?
Hy-Vee has been falling for a long time.
It's no surprise to me when I worked at Hy-Vee over 10 years ago. I was at one of the Sioux Falls stores from 2010 - 2012 and it was a mess even back then. I saw Edeker back then when he was a tier below Jergens and I thought the guy was a creep back... — read more
What looms for Jan - Feb - March
The last 3 years has been absolutely brutal @ Hy-Vee during this time period. Will we go thru a Sink the Ships mentality again or will things get better? I have heard there will be movement with the supervisors and change is expected as their... — read more
This is the rock bottom
It is futile to ask how far hy-vee is from the rock bottom because chances are the company has already hit it long time ago. Is there any possibility for the company to get back on track? I'm pretty skeptical about that.
Explanation of Hyvees changes
HyVees main revenue stream, which explains the 2 ceos, Randy chairman and 2 'separate hyvees is now data collection. Hyvees main profit source is harvesting people's info from fuelsavers, H+, they can know who you in store even with fuelsaver... — read more

Could We Just Close at Noon on Thanksgiving Please
Other major retailers are closed on Thanksgiving so their employees can enjoy the holiday with their families. But Hy-Vee, oh no we don't close. How about we compromise, Hy-Vee, let's lock up at noon and at least let us spend a little family time. Or... — read more
Read an Article about HyVee Looking to tap India for remote IT positions
Is there any truth to this? I saw an article and partially read where after HyVee let go 200+ IT jobs at the corporate office that they were looking to tap India Remote IT job market to fill IT positions Remotely Is this TRUE????? If it is Ive just... — read more
Must make a change
HyVee must make a change, and it better be soon, or they will go out of business, or sell. Theft is soooo bad that they cannot be making any profit. I know of a li---r department that lost 10 grand in one week. And that's just one store. Lack of... — read more
I'd take even a modest severance to get out of here
Enough to get me through a month as I search for a new job. I have been looking but I'm working long hours and I am always both short on time and too tired to devote much time to it. If I could afford it I would quit today, but I can't. Honestly, I... — read more
Stores are getting terrible
When you work in one store for so long, you become almost unaware of how it gradually changes for the worse, however, the store I work in is impossible not to notice that it has become total trash. What's happening with hy-wee is really sad.
Is there any news on more cuts?
I doubt we'll have to wait much longer for it to happen, but it'd be nice to get some concrete info on it.
Hear is what I am hearing
Randy is stepping away from CEO He will still be chairman, until he appoints the new chairman. He’s going to be working in Nashville and Indy and only in Des Moines office one week out of the month. Aaron Wiese taking over as CEO in October Jeremy... — read more
Nobody is happy here
I deal with HyVee's on a weekly basis and I can tell you this, out of the 24 stores I call on, there is not 1 happy employee. Not one and this is no exaggeration. People are quitting left and right and they have no one to fill their shoes. It's... — read more
What the Heck is PDIs Problem
Trucks always late. We are scheduled to stock these trucks when they are scheduled to arrive. Many times they're 3 or 4 hours late. I'm asked to go home and come back in a few hours to stock because truck is late again. It screws up my after work... — read more
We are just a number to them
It is surprising that some, even after 15 or more years of working here, think that they are actually important to hy-vee. I guess people can't possibly accept that after so many years of loyalty and hard work, they are still just a number here... — read more
Hyvee layoffs
I will not shop at this store anymore one of my best friends was let go after 25 years of service . Where is that companies loyalty for employees like that. Why is Greed such a part of human society anymore. Shame on you Hy -Vee I always thought... — read more
Need Help with my Indy Inventory
Just seeing if any store can help take some of my Indy Inventory off my hands:)
Deli Meats
Why is HyVee doing away with all the sliced deli meats now? Why are they getting rid of things that actually sell? Makes zero sense but then again Randy is in charge.
Who's to blame for all this toxicity?
I don’t remember the workplace ever being more toxic than it is now. I will give notice soon because it's become unbearable.
Race weekend is making me pissy all over again
I was corporate staff until the March layoffs. They put me through he-l with the number of hours and stress that I had in my life. I have a much healthier job now. Yet, race weekend is bringing back the anger. It’s a big deal and a big event. I was... — read more
Work health Randy!
Why aren't cashier's allowed to sit? The German competition Aldi's allows them to sit. If a cashier or customers service employee leans on a counter, a Manager "Of" yells at them. Working in a standing position on a regular basis can cause sore... — read more
Hy-Vee is selling/leasing stores
It was reported 2 days ago in the Business Record that Hurd Real Estate Services bought 8 Hy-Vee Stores and will lease the property back to Hy-Vee.
Big news coming?
First off I am not we’ll connected by any means. With that said I am hearing that they are dropping some big news in the next several weeks. I am not sure what, if anything at all. Has anyone else heard anything like this?
Complaining is in vain
Venting is OK, but it makes no sense to spend too much energy on complaining. HyVee doesn’t care about our complaints at all nor do they care what we think. How much effort do you put into looking for another job? The company will eventually... — read more
Curtis Stone!!!
It all started with Randy and CURTIS STONE. And continues!!!
SE Expansion
Does anyone know any current info on the SE expansion, tentative dates, etc. and/or if it's still planned for 2023 and if so, when in 2023?
Is any other location chronically understaffed?
I swear it's hurting our bottom line. It's not even that the management doesn't want to hire more employees, they've been trying. There are just no good applicants. We lost so many great people in the last few months and we can't find anybody to... — read more

Ways some stores can survive
I think there must be some way for the stores that are still operating to survive and not experience a closure. A true leader would fight for it. Perhaps someone has an idea how stores in poor condition could survive in the future?
It’s going to be a rough ride when recession comes
Think about it. We had layoff and uncertainty about our jobs when the economy was in a much better state than it is now and when people had much more buying power. I can’t even think what it will be like when recession kicks in. Will this company... — read more
