Pros

Overall, the company is a good company to work for. Benefits are very competitive with what you would expect from a large, successful company. The people are generally great for the most part.

Cons

The company has the motto of "because people matter." However, in the "H-E-B Digital" space, upper management puts a significant amount of emphasis on business results over people. To add to this, there is not much transparency between management and individual contributors. This is contrary to the "transparent culture" that H-E-B claims to have. To round it off, the company does not accurately promote or compensate individuals based on their skills and/or value to the team. For example, as a junior-level or mid-level software engineer, one should not be easily outperforming senior-level engineers. I truly believe that the culture is great at the stores. However, when it comes to the "H-E-B Digital" department, there is much room for culture improvement.

Pros

There were no pros at all.

Cons

My experience at the Frisco location was largely negative due to the store leadership team, headed by Stacie Sorenson. I found the management approach to be unsupportive and at times created a stressful work environment. I often felt singled out and treated differently because of my background and appearance, which made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome during my internship. Pay was not competitive compared to similar employers. Scheduling was often inconsistent and difficult to plan around. In my experience, HR tended to support store leadership rather than adequately addressing employee concerns. The quality of the internship experience varies greatly depending on the store and management team. There can be resentment from some employees toward interns, particularly from those who were interested in the program but were not selected. Communication, mentorship, and support were not at the level I expected from a company that promotes its internship program so heavily.
