Pros

Overall, the company is a good company to work for. Benefits are very competitive with what you would expect from a large, successful company. The people are generally great for the most part.

Cons

The company has the motto of "because people matter." However, in the "H-E-B Digital" space, upper management puts a significant amount of emphasis on business results over people. To add to this, there is not much transparency between management and individual contributors. This is contrary to the "transparent culture" that H-E-B claims to have. To round it off, the company does not accurately promote or compensate individuals based on their skills and/or value to the team. For example, as a junior-level or mid-level software engineer, one should not be easily outperforming senior-level engineers. I truly believe that the culture is great at the stores. However, when it comes to the "H-E-B Digital" department, there is much room for culture improvement.

Pros

Getting to build relationships with the customers and partners. The pay is excellents and so are the benefits.

Cons

Micro-management is awful. When a partner gets a ASM position they act like they are better than the rest. Managers make ASM's feel like they are better and different than the rest of the partners with special privileges. Managers get do stuff that the other partners don't get to do. Like walk on the front end with sodas, energy drinks, snacking on food but the cashiers and baggers don't get to do that. ONLY water they can drink on the front end while managers, store directors, store managers are walking around the store and front end they everything other than water.
