About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking people with a passion for customer service, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to being part of a team that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

At Hy-Vee, our Hy-Chi department offers customers a unique and delicious experience, and our Hy-Chi Department Clerks are at the heart of making it happen. In this role, you'll fill customer orders, prepare and replenish product, keep the department running smoothly, and deliver the kind of friendly service that makes every customer feel welcome. Whether you're taking an order at the counter, pulling product from the cooler, or keeping the workspace clean and organized, your work makes a real difference every shift.

If you enjoy a fast-paced food service environment, take pride in quality, and love working with people, we'd love to have you on our team.
