Pros

Fast-paced, yet positive, encouraging environment. For those with desire to grow in the business & strong ambition, initiative and work ethic, HEB offers excellent opportunities for advancement as well as specialized training within a given department. I.e. Bakery, Produce, Deli, Seafood, etc.

Cons

The work is extremely physically demanding, especially in the bigger, busier stores. One is constantly reaching, lifting, standing, kneeling, bending, etc. In a top selling store, its not uncommon to walk 6-8 miles in an 8hr shift. There's never enough people scheduled in any department to totally fulfill a day's workload requirements; ergo, everyone has to constantly be performing at top level speed and highest level productivity with exceptional customer service rapport while maintaining flawless execution of vital food safety & food handling procedures with flawless accuracy.

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.
