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.
