Pros

You get a thank you from regular customers.

Cons

If your are hispanic you will be held to a higher standard while lighter skinned people get moved up faster. The whiter you act the better for you. People with family ties with the company will get better positions and better pay especially if they are lighter skinned.

Pros

I got a .08 cent raise after working there for 6 months, if you consider that a ‘pro’.

Cons

Overwork you. Had me work hours outside of my availability. Short staffed and lazy coworkers at that. They never wanted to help the customers while I’m over here making tons of cakes so I had to help the customers. Upper management was a joke. Wanted all these products out with one cake decorator. Always saw us struggle in the bakery and didn’t try to do anything. This may not be for all HEBs obviously. My location was horrible. Had me work 7 days straight after I came back to work because I had Covid. I actually worked 10 days straight during the holidays as well. Maybe if I worked at a different location I would’ve stayed.

Pros

Relaxed work environment. Generous forgiveness plan for sick days. Decent pay.

Cons

Management usually ignores your issues. You have to constantly pester them to do what they said they would do or else it'll be forgotten or swept under the rug. I was hired to be a cashier but was stuck without proper training for 7 months as a CS A instead, all because management changed and they weren't interested in honoring previous agreements. I do not blame the company itself, but rather the people working at the store, as I spent the better 3/4 of a year making $3 less an hour than I had discussed in the entrance interview.
