Pros

Great pay and benefits. Company offers quite a bit for their employees and seems to really care about their employees. Company parties and meals to celebrate holidays and sales records.

Cons

As a department manager expect to get moved to different stores, sometimes far away from where you live. Expected to work 50hrs a week but it usually ends up being 60+ hrs.Expect to do monthly physical inventories and work most holidays especially in the bakery. They use an occurance system for time and attendance which some employees can easily abuse.

10% off HEB stuff. That's it...

Cons

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.
