Pros

Great management who really cares, great career opportunities. Benefits are good as well. If you want, you can work your way up from bagger to unit director. It takes time, but it's possible. There are many people who have been working for HEB for greater than 20 years because it's a great company. The pay is competitive and way better than most places you can work. HEB frequently sponsors charity events and really gives back to the community.

Cons

There really isn't a whole lot of bad things to say about HEB. One thing that did bother me was that the pay for checkers kept moving up while the pay for checkers who had been working there went up less, so essentially new checkers could be making more than older ones.

Pros

Working closing at Food Service in Bakery is much more pleasant than morning shift, less oversight but! you are still held to a high standard to complete all your tasks. You get raises twice a year, depending on your performance. All my co-workers are very nice and my manager is friendly too.

Cons

Rush dates like Valentines, Mother's Day, big sports events, Thanksgiving (PIES!!), and Christmas can be challenging but as long as you don't talk too much and just do the work, it'll be okay.

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.
