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 

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?

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 

Ive worked for hy-vee for 6 years in the north. I see 2 major problems with hy-vee and lots of little ones. 1 Arrogance!!!!!. In everything they do they expect it to work . Build stores right on top of each other, wahlburgers, Dsw, buying store... —  read more 

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?

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 

Please read to see what outside professional s think about Hy-Vee's recent corporate behavior. https://retailwire.com/discussion/is-hy-vees-highly-public-corporate-restructuring-prescient-or-something-else/

I don’t remember the workplace ever being more toxic than it is now. I will give notice soon because it's become unbearable.

HyVee and the movie titanic have so many similarities. For example all the crew new the ship was going down but the captain refused the ship could ever sink. Well that Randy to a T. The only thing different between them two is randy won’t go down... —  read more 

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.

As things are far from great and as the recession hits, where people will have less and less buying capabilities, I believe we will be facing less and less foot traffic at the stores. Can that produce massive layoff as early as this summer, or are we... —  read more 

How long can this last?

Retail markets are not looking good. Target dropped a ton in profits. All these people are blaming randy for a terrible quarter when other retailers had much worst results. Maybe Randy is doing something right. The rest of this year is going to be a... —  read more 

Explain to me how anyone at Hy-Vee thinks this is actually a good sponsorship for the company. RLL racing is not a good organization. The 45 car hasn’t finished in the top 3rd of race results with Harvey. The Indy market isn’t getting a Hy-Vee for... —  read more 

Those with skills are long gone. For those of us who do not have a great skillset, it is not easy to find something better. How to find a new, better job with mediocre skills is a real challenge. Any advice?

I think it can hardly be any worse. I guess according to the rules of this site it is forbidden to give out any identifiable information, but I am really interested in how many hyvee stores are actually doing well. Without revealing the... —  read more 

Ever since the latest round of layoffs, my SD has become even more unreasonable than he was before. He expected too much before and now he expects the impossible. If any one of us complains, he just keeps yelling that we should be happy we still have... —  read more 

A 3 percent increase is not enough when inflation is 8 percent. Do the math. We are hurting as employees. Most of us are paycheck to paycheck. We can't even afford to shop our own stores. Aldi and Walmart are getting my grocery dollars. I wish we... —  read more 

Is there a job that you think is great here? i see a lot of people complaining, admin people, finance, corporate, store, etc. Everyone is unhappy? Is there a job at hy-vee that would make you a happy employee, something that makes sense, pays well... —  read more 

I don't know if some of you still visit this page from time to time or not, but in case you are, do you mind sharing if you were able to find a new job already? If the answer is yes I'm not going to ask where, but if you feel like volunteering that... —  read more 

Hy-Vee really preparing for the future? Being bought out? Going out of business? When will they squash the rumors? Or will they? Curious on the end result of when and what happens to all the employees… Best ideas?

HyVee just had the biggest surge of record sales. Covid caused a huge surge of cash for grocery stores. All the restaurants were close so the only food source was grocery stores. Somehow Randy thought that the increase of sales would be forever and... —  read more 

This used to be a very good company... Now it looks like it's not the same place anymore. I know where I will be in a few days, after spending almost a decade here... But where will hy-vee end up with all the bad decisions they are making? The... —  read more

Rumor is the warehouses are starting too really crack down on hours and are forcing full time employees home early.. Who are unionized..

This is a rethorical question.

Here's a novel idea for HyVee...hire an outside company to do an employee survey. It would shed some light on what's really going on in their business. I know this would never happen as Randy has too big of an ego to do this. Plus, they would hate... —  read more 

How many more of these announcements do we have to look forward to before the leadership decides it's enough? Living and working surrounded by uncertainty is not healthy! We're in this mess because of the decisions made by those on top and we're the... —  read more 

When talking to customers, the most common complaint that they have is that our items are overpriced. Is it really possible that the leadership got the price policies wrong to a degree that long time customers are moving to competitor stores?

At least those that joined us. None of them are planning to stay and I say good for them. This is not about not respecting the stores and people who work there. This is about giving people a demotion with a pay cut and calling them stuck-up as-----s... —  read more 

To those of you who are able to buy stock. The way things are shaking out you don't want to have all your eggs in one basket. Sell some and diversify. Just a word to the wise.

Or has everything already become beyond repair and we can only expect it to get worse?

I'm curious, what's your biggest issue with Hy-Vee and what could be done to make your workday better?

I’ve lost all faith in HyVee leadership. This is the same cr-p we went through right before Covid. I still believed in early 2020 we could fix it and had faith in Randy’s leadership. At this point I have lost faith in Randy’s abilities about getting... —  read more 

Is there anybody who can still honestly say they like their job?

Cut the nepotism… just because you ran a successful store in Omaha doesn’t mean you know everything about other business disciplines. The leadership at the top prioritizes working really hard…. Doesn’t matter if it’s efficient or effective. Just... —  read more 

How on God's green earth, after coming off record sales during Covid, does HyVee have no money? I'm no financial planner but holy smokes, that's some serious bad management. They definitely have a broken business model.

Why doesn’t randy get a job at store level if he thinks it’s not beneath anyone? Let’s start a petition! I’m thinking the dish room! He should work at store level then maybe see how stupid his grandiose ideas are
