H E B reviews

Management is rather incompetent and overly passionate about certain things. Much of management and leadership related tasks are delegated to individuals who are not compensated on the same level. Favoritism is a huge problem, but management will act as if they are fair to everyone. Hours have been cut during busy time periods even though some stores make more than enough in a week to meet the demands of labor. Customers are very entitled and rude to many of the employees that work there.

It's like they purposely underhire. One more employee (no matter the department) would be extremely helpful in helping everyone finish the tasks they require of you in the timeframe that they expect it. But instead they would rather have everyone work at full capacity every day just for us to *barely* make it by the time the store opens. Very often, we would still be in the store 2-3 hours past our shifts - especially on the days if one person had to call in sick or didn't come in for whatever reason. Losing a person that night made it impossible for everyone to get done stocking. I thought moving to the "cosmetic" section (diapers, medecine, hair supplies) would make for an easier workload than having to stock up rows upon rows of food. Negative. It was just me and another employee on that side so if she called in sick I was still expected to produce at normal levels. Add to the fact that she never picked up speed so I was doing my rows and a portion of hers every single night. Stressful.
