Pros

Great infrastructure, Employer sponsored training, Excellent Benefits, Flexible Schedules,

Cons

Poor Manager-Employee Relations, Store morale is up one minute and crashes the next. No matter how great a company's infrastructure is, it's important that the people implementing it know how and what to do with their employees. Who cares about employer sponsored training if a) the employees never know about it and b) managers don't focus on the improvement of their employees.

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.
