We have a new a-s-clown that recently laid off all of contractors is working on bringing in off-shore resources to replace the contactors and fill all the empty positions. It blows my mind, hyvee doesn't have great benefits or pay, I can't imagine... — read more 

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 

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 

Before I applied here, I was very hesitant whether to leave my previous job. Leaving the hy-vee was the easiest decision ever. There is no dilemma whether to leave this place. I think for most people here, it's never been easier to make the... — 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 don’t remember the workplace ever being more toxic than it is now. I will give notice soon because it's become unbearable.

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 

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.

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 

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 

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 

How long can this last?

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?

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 

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?

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 

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 

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 

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?

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

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 

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?

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

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.

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 

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

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.

Well with all of these cut you know HyVee won’t be expanding down south anymore. HyVee is in financial ruins right now. We are just going to focus on the markets we operate in now. With more rounds of cut you can’t help but think this are worst than... — read more
