Pros
Fast-paced, yet positive, encouraging environment. For those with desire to grow in the business & strong ambition, initiative and work ethic, HEB offers excellent opportunities for advancement as well as specialized training within a given department. I.e. Bakery, Produce, Deli, Seafood, etc.
Cons
The work is extremely physically demanding, especially in the bigger, busier stores. One is constantly reaching, lifting, standing, kneeling, bending, etc. In a top selling store, its not uncommon to walk 6-8 miles in an 8hr shift. There's never enough people scheduled in any department to totally fulfill a day's workload requirements; ergo, everyone has to constantly be performing at top level speed and highest level productivity with exceptional customer service rapport while maintaining flawless execution of vital food safety & food handling procedures with flawless accuracy.
