H-E-B Sales Associate Salaries in the U.S. (2025 Data)

Responsibilities
Would you like to have a built-in workout as part of your job? We need hard-working, night-owl Partners like you. Your energy and stamina are what keep our nighttime crews on track to keep H-E-B shelves stocked and organized while everyone else is asleep. Our success can't happen without YOU!
As a Night Stocker, you'll become part of a highly-functioning team in the Grocery or Drug Store department, watching out for each other, working to meet common goals, and sharing that nighttime work lifestyle.
