Pros

The Tech Stack is fairly modern if you're working on a new application, the developers are almost all great to work with, work-life balance is decent, and it can be an awesome place to work IF you get a good manager.

Cons

The main problem with HEB Digital is that there are some really horrible managers and HR doesn't seem to care. Managers at HEB can block you from moving to another team and there's no time limit to the block. So if you get stuck with an abusive manager, they can effectively keep you on the abusive team until you get sick enough of it to quit. I've never worked at a company that allows this sort of behavior and I was shocked when it happened.

Pros

There were no pros at all.

Cons

My experience at the Frisco location was largely negative due to the store leadership team, headed by Stacie Sorenson. I found the management approach to be unsupportive and at times created a stressful work environment. I often felt singled out and treated differently because of my background and appearance, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome during my internship. Pay was not competitive compared to similar employers. Scheduling was often inconsistent and difficult to plan around. In my experience, HR tended to support store leadership rather than adequately addressing employee concerns. The quality of the internship experience varies greatly depending on the store and management team. There can be resentment from some employees toward interns, particularly from those who were interested in the program but were not selected. Communication, mentorship, and support were not at the level I expected from a company that promotes its internship program so heavily.
