Pros

You will create some nice friendships with some of your coworkers. Weekly pay.

Cons

-favoritism ( hard workers will get minimal pay raises, meanwhile people that do practically no work and always show up late for work will get substantially higher pay raises simply because they are better friends with your manager than you are, etc) -will document you for unreasonable things ( I was sick at work, literally vomiting inside of the store in multiple places, and they still threatened to write me up if I was to leave early) - they will sometimes expect you to do the work of two to three people by yourself, and have unfair expectations put upon you daily. - if you see them treating coworkers unfairly, there is virtually nothing you can really do to help them without being retaliated against . These are just a few examples. I currently work at HEB montrose market in Houston, and although some people enjoy working there, a lot of people (myself included) feel literally like it’s hell on earth most if not all of the time) And it’s neither an exaggeration or a vendetta against the company. I’ve heard that some stores have great management and that each store is a unique environment unto itself. Everyone I’ve seen go to HR has just ended up fired, Or they just send them back to their store managers to deal with it, who are the ones who SHOULD be changing things but are more concerned with more profits and less work. I have LITERALLY seen virtually everyone in my department have an emotional breakdown at one point or another, yes it’s really that inhospitable at times for its workers.

Pros

There were no pros at all.

Cons

My experience at the Frisco location was largely negative due to the store leadership team, headed by Stacie Sorenson. I found the management approach to be unsupportive and at times created a stressful work environment. I often felt singled out and treated differently because of my background and appearance, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome during my internship. Pay was not competitive compared to similar employers. Scheduling was often inconsistent and difficult to plan around. In my experience, HR tended to support store leadership rather than adequately addressing employee concerns. The quality of the internship experience varies greatly depending on the store and management team. There can be resentment from some employees toward interns, particularly from those who were interested in the program but were not selected. Communication, mentorship, and support were not at the level I expected from a company that promotes its internship program so heavily.
