Pros

Stable. Even in an economic downturn, people still need to eat. HEB does have a generally great culture. Flexible - allowing you to handle life outside of work during work hours when you need to, and no one will bat an eye (because kids get sick, appointments need to be made during work hours, etc. - it's just part of life).

Cons

HEB takes a long time to get rid of jerks. They'll move them around to other teams, making them someone else's problem, instead of just putting in the work to document the issues and terminate them. Pay is less than what you would get at a tech company, but the business is stable.

Pros

None. Get out while you can.

Cons

Houston location has the worst leaders. They're cheap with raises and cut the good people so the management team can get better bonuses. They make up rules that make no sense when they feel like. There are guys in the yard who have no job titles but somehow are still working there doing nothing all day? The safety leads/radio room/management are a joke. They cover up for the people they're buddies with. Ran into the gate? Destroy thousands of dollars of goods or a trailer? Ran out of gas in the middle of the road driving the mule offsite? Not a problem if you're buddies with management and safety. If you're buddies with management, you get opportunities offered to you even though you may be among the worst and slowest spotters. If you're not buddies with management/safety/radio, you have to watch your back. HEB corporate needs to look into management here.
