Pros
Great employee benefits (discounts on food products, and excellent medical plans). Weekly pay. HEB does great deal of community service. If you are lucky enough to get full time employment, the time off is amazing (especially to be retail).
Cons
To be honest, I believe many of the people writing these reviews are lying. I think HEB tells its employees to write these reviews. HEB is the most political place I have ever worked. In order to receive promotions or for your word to be valued, you have to be well liked. I personally saw management pick on employees they dislike so much to the point where those employees were unjustly terminated. All the while, I witnessed the "favorites" constantly break policies and these "favorites" to date are still employed with the company. Also, you have to endure a huge amount of emotional and verbal abuse from co-worker, managers, and customers alike. There is no one for you to turn to. If you try to report these issues, the retaliation the company claims to not put up with always occurs.
