Pros

One of my favorite things about being a shopper is that it is easy and simple to understand and you get paid a pretty penny for doing so. Completing your shopping runs in an hour or less makes the work day go by fast, and you are guaranteed 2 breaks for a 6 hour shift and 2 breaks and a lunch with an 8 hour shift. Also you barely have any interaction with customers unless they need help with locating an item or asking if we carry a certain item.

Cons

Subbing and shorting items on an order can be stressful at times, if a couple people call in sick it can put the shopping behind schedule same thing goes if there is a high volume of orders to be shopped. Earliest shift starts at 5AM , but you do get out early and have the rest of the day left it just depends on how you look at it.

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.
