Pros

it’s a job. you get food occasionally. we got a 100 dollar bonus 1x.

Cons

you will do all the work. you get the worst schedule. you have to work 50 hours a week. you get the lowest pay for manager with the most work. people constantly calling in and you have to fill in for them. you get blamed for everything. corporate controls your inventory and then when it’s wrong it’s your fault. you will get past up for promotions for other employees who sleep with underage employees bc they have to move them to other stores. your schedule goes from day to night then back to days then nights then midday. you work every holiday, then off when everyone when your family goes back to work.

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.
