The BEST and the WORST job in my life--not at all as advertised! - Cake Decorator H E B Employee Review

Pros

Benefits and perks are above average

Cons

HEB "talk" does not equal HEB "walk" Unreasonable job expectations contribute to numerous employee transfers and turnovers. Unadvised sudden schedule changes prevent employees from having quality home life. Numerous texts and phone calls during off time. Unscheduled 10-12 hour shifts without breaks and lunches became the norm. In the beginning I would volunteer to help out during a crisis, soon it became the expectation--eventually I felt like the HEB bakery doormat covering a crisis without being appreciated for it. Classic definition of hostile work environment.

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.
