Pros

Comes with options of great benefits through, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, VSP Vision, Delta Dental. And do offer a 401K and if you're vested, company stocks. They give a 10% discount, with occasional 20% off.

Cons

HEB has had a long reputation of basically being the "best company in Texas, ever!", and although yes, it's not the worst company, it's definitely not the best, and has a lot it could improve on. Corporate is constantly raving about how they put their partners/employees first, but the reality of teat is a different story, heavily depending on who the store managers are. My current and my last manager have been absolutely incredible. Some of our current store management however, don't care about anyone but themselves, and how they can just climb the corporate ladder. Every once in a while, the company has each store do a "Partner/Employee Appreciation Month", where you get a free lunch or similar small "thanks" one day of that particular month. It's usually either pizza ordered in, or deli sandwich trays made in the store. This month, we got a baked potato. "Thank you so much for everything you're doing! Here's a potato" They also usually give out holiday bonus money, and in the past, it's been $100 bill, cash. This time, we got $100 gift card, to the store, so we can only use it for groceries and such, and not to say, pay a bill or something important. Management in every store I've worked at doesn't take sexual harassment seriously at all, even when they witness the person you and many others are reporting making unwanted sexual advances towards you. If you report anything to HR, nothing will be done about it. Some managers genuinely care, but they seem to get moved around every year or less, while managers who don't care at all stay in positions longer. I'd love to get more than 10% of a discount, especially these days.

Pros

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.
