Pros

Employee discounts Generally friendly environment

Cons

IPM expectations were nearly impossible to meet as large orders necessitated a bagger, which I almost never had. Barcodes often did not work, making things worse. Check stand could never be cleaned properly during the day because of the constant stream of people. Cleaning was only surface level at closing. The only time I ever saw the stands get a deep clean was during the start of COVID. They were disgusting. Not many hours were given and they changed the policy to be competitive, which meant that because I was almost always alone on the stand and having to check slowly, I received even fewer hours. No benefits of course.

NO FULL-TIME OFFER! The recruitment process at H-E-B Digital is deeply frustrating and appears to lack integrity. Despite having relevant internship experience and receiving positive feedback during the interview process, I found that the company’s hiring strategy seems entirely reliant on prioritizing individuals recently laid off from FAANG companies. It feels as though they are not genuinely interested in developing new talent or giving equal consideration to qualified candidates who don't fit that specific profile. Advice for Management: Be transparent with applicants regarding your hiring criteria. It is demoralizing to waste time and emotional energy interviewing when the process feels like a box-checking exercise. If you are not actually hiring, do not string candidates along with positive feedback. The current approach reflects poorly on the company’s values and brand. Recommendation: If you are not a recent layoff from a major tech firm, I would suggest looking elsewhere. It appears to be their business model to prioritize those specific candidates over others, regardless of your personal qualifications or positive performance during interviews.
