Harold would be disappointed Randy!

Randy's Hy-Vee Bill
Randy can retire now. He finally got the huge state tax cut on retirement benefits that has been the company's #1 legislative priority for years. At the Statehouse, it was nicknamed the "Hy-Vee bill."
How could Hy-Vee save money without laying off people?
Posting as a current long time employee who still works in a store. Could you imagine how great the company could be if the office reached out to its employees and asked for honest and thought out feedback. Asked questions like: How could Hy-Vee... — read more

Hy-Vee Employees Report Layoffs While Company Remains Quiet

This is self-inflicted
What's most depressing about this round of layoffs is it's quite clear that it's self-inflicted. They reported and boasted about record-breaking revenue and profit during the pandemic. Blaming future macroeconomic shortfalls really isn't... — read more

Not surprised
This is not a surprise to me at all! This is something he is known for, numbers look bad so he throws a fit like a two year old and fires people. Don’t do what he says, he throws a fit like a two year old and fires people. Who cares about their... — read more
They don't know what they're doing!
What else can be said about leadership that creates a job that will be gone in a year? I cannot believe that such a thing can be done by competent people who have a vision and want to make changes for the better here.
Corporate cuts
For a company that says we "want to be the best place to work and shop in America" they sure are all talk. The top leadership all bends down to whatever Randy the CEO says. No one can have other opinions. If you haven't run a store your opinion... — read more
This company learns nothing from its own failures
Our leadership has a very unhealthy relationship with failures. Instead of admitting their mistakes and trying to correct them, they persistently try to ignore them. The result is that the company goes from one failure to another. Why leadership... — read more

We need some relief
I'm constantly overworked and expected to be in three places at once. I understand it's hard to hire people but the fact that you can't find good employees doesn't mean you can overload the rest of us with work until we drop of exhaustion. Find a... — read more
Really feel left out
I've been with the company over 20 years and only make 1 dollar more than new hires ! Just awful. You've left out a big base of your loyal workers.🤔☹
There are zero positives about working at Hy-Vee
There used to be some but now we have subpar pay, lousy managers who have no idea what they're doing, horrible working conditions, and very little chance to advance. Not sure what happened Hy-Vee, but you really need to find a way to get your sh-t... — read more
Help me understand this

Topeka Hy-Vee #1658 is Imploding!!!!!
If I were Randy I'd be asking what is happening in Topeka. Why are there so many long time employees leaving for other jobs outside Hy-Vee. I can understand that new employees or lazy employees might leave but employees that have been at Topeka... — read more
Costco Starting at $17 an hour
Costco is now starting at 17 bucks an hour. We thought you wanted to be the best place to work in America. How about starting with competitive pay. Step it up Hy-Vee.
Dirty stores
The stores in our area, including the one that I work at are so dirty, unsanitary, and understaffed. Being a manager at the store, I spend maybe 5 percent of the time actually managing and 95 percent of the time checking or home shopping. I refuse to... — read more
Des Moines area

You get what you pay for
Funny thing happened to me today. I was called into the office to have a 1 on 1 and asked if there was anything going on in my personal life that I wanted to talk about. Being a bit confused I asked him to elaborate. Apparently the level of my... — read more
