Pros

Decent hours, I guess. The health insurance and 401k are good.

Cons

Management doesn’t treat you like people or even acknowledge you unless they have grievances. The company has totally lost their family vibe. They’ve become greedy and have shortened their staff TOO much while increasing workload almost threefold. HEB artificially inflates prices just to hit these yearly goals with price jumps of 20-70% for no reason and yet the raises they offer employees are kind of a joke. Chic fil A workers make more. They also expect you to be available ALL DAY if their trucks don’t show up on time. Sometimes they’re six hours late and you’re expected to come back to work at 2 pm and work for five hours when you clocked in at 6 am and were sent home. I shouldn’t have to commit my entire day to work. You get eight hours.

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.
