Pros
Having the opportunity to work for a leader in the retail industry, overall company is very involved with the community, healthy employer discounts at HEB, free item giveaways for employees, Company is always growing and looking for ways to improve Many free on site activities such as health fairs and vendor food fairs. Family oriented, Great work site as you are on the river walk at the HQ. Great company to have under your belt, as HEB is a industry leader. Debt free company.
Cons
Employees rarely get promoted for their actual work, but instead it is all about how many 'years' you have with HEB. Company puts years of service over actual talent, and everyone has that mind set. Very difficult to move up as HR has extremely broad requirements on positions, so you think you met the requirements but actually do not. Dept is very limited on when you can take vacation as only a few people of the same title can be out at same time, rotating time off every other year for when you cant take vacation; Christmas eve, new years eve etc. If you even mention that you shop anywhere else like most people do it is very much looked at negatively. Once you are in this dept any want to learn about systems or anything that is related (procurement, buying etc) is not allowed. No room to grow unless you plan to be there for 20+ years and become the old person who is an expert at everything. Lower payinig vs industry average. Many people work late every day and go in on weekends as the work load is very intense. If you do something well, you get rewarded with more work and same pay.
