Great benefits, toxic culture

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great benefits, flexible schedule, partner discounts, free products, decent pay, raises 2X a year until midpoint.

Cons

Toxic store culture. Rampant gossip, harassment, and drama. BPM means “Because Profits Matter”, not people. Lazy, incompetent department managers. Only people in the good old boy network and brown noses get promoted. SORM interviews are a joke. Merit and hard work goes unrecognized and unrewarded for partners, while their managers win exotic trips (ex. Italy, Spain) from the fruits of their labor. Some part-time employees work 40-hours a week are not given benefits or the opportunity to go full-time. Too much overt political activism and social justice with the 2018 General Election, trying to spread fear by saying, “This is the most important election in our lifetime!” Lots of “white shaming” in the name of “Diversity”. The last 2 BPM meetings have promoted Hispanic workers, and showcased the Hispanic shopping experience.

Pros

Hours and pay are good

Cons

Management is awful. They do not care about you at all and will allow the most disrespectful things to happen to you. This includes sexual harassment and people threatening you. Once you bring this up, you are now the problem and you have to figure out if you want to shut up and take it, transfer, or just quit. Horrible place to work!

Pros

- Tons of opportunity to grow and move up - You’ll work with a lot of really good people and make plenty of friends along the way - You’ll generally be treated really well by store management - Customers appreciate H-E-B and they will tell you that - If you want to have a career at H-E-B you can make that happen - Your fellow partners and managers will always have your back when personal issues arise - Pay is competitive - Really efficient, well-run company - Paid weekly - Time and a half on holidays

Cons

- You only get your schedule one week at a time, so planning for life outside of H-E-B is hard - If you have open availability your schedule will be all over the place, at least on the front-end. You could work 6-2:30 Monday, 3:30-12 Tuesday, and then 10-6:30 on Wednesday. Just makes it hard for your body to adjust and again, hard to plan for life outside of H-E-B - Your first year of full-time you get very little vacation, although it does go up to 2 weeks your 2nd year. - You can only call-in or be tardy 9 times in a year, which isn’t awful, but if you have kids or just a few personal issues arise in a given year it can become a problem. Some managers are more lenient with “occurrences” and may cut you some slack, but it all depends on your manager. Some are very “by the books” about things. (If you call in multiple days in a row for the same issue it only counts as one occurrence, so keep that in mind. If you have the flu don’t worry about getting multiple occurrences. Call-in every day until you’re well, and then come back to work.) - Not a lot of opportunity for overtime, which isn’t an issue if you don’t want to work more than 40 hours a week, but if you need extra hours to pay the bills don’t expect to be able to pick up more than 40.
