Pros

They pay is surprisingly well considering that they primarily operate in the business of grocery retail and nothing else. Very flexible for those who may be attending school. Growth opportunities are available.

Cons

Management is rather incompetent and overly passionate about certain things. Much of management and leadership related tasks are delegated to individuals who are not compensated on the same level. Favoritism is a huge problem, but management will act as if they are fair to everyone. Hours have been cut during busy time periods even though some stores make more than enough in a week to meet the demands of labor. Customers are very entitled and rude to many of the employees that work there.

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.
