Pros

HEB is a great company, that is very loyal and very involved in the community.

Cons

The company is very behind the times in technology, benefits and work life balance. Very much still has the old mindset that you need to be over the age of 45 in order to be a manager, and they put loyalty of the company ahead of everything else. People who are more tenured time wise get promoted, over people who can do the best job. The benefits are very unsatifactory, no parental leave, only 2 wks of vacation to start with and they will not negotiate that. No working from home, unless it is a absolute emergency. Overall the mindset of the F&R department, and HEB is very behind the times when it comes to it's people. No work life balance, as you're expected to work long hours and then when you get a promotion to a new position, you only get a small merit increase vs being on the proper pay scale. HEB has forgotten about it's corporate employees and focuses only on it's store employees. I worked for the company for over 3yrs and when I left, not once was I asked by management, HR or leadership why. This department is years behind other supply chain departments, and has high turnover.

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.
