Pros

Loved the flexibility they afforded me while working there during college. I worked in three locations (Austin, Seguin and San Marcos) and met fantastic people and leadership along every stop. I was invited to join leadership training sessions and knew what was expected of me if I wanted to join HEB's Manager training program or leadership training program.

Cons

Pay is what you'd expect working in a grocery store. Not minimum wage, but not great either. As with any retail or grocer, it's a mixed bag of employees. Working with non-motivated and underachieving people really made it a hard workplace to stay positive within.

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.
