Tier M / Mass Retail Hourly

H-E-B starting pay and pay schedule

By HireTea Updated 2026-07-01

H-E-B pay — verified fact

H-E-B pay guidance should use only the exact posting or job-card data because pay varies by brand, department, location, schedule, and role family. Official job/API examples reviewed on July 1, 2026 included Curbie at $13.50/hr, In-Store Shopper at $17/hr, warehouse examples around $20.50/hr, Pharmacy Tech around $20/hr, Manufacturing QA around $19.70-$21.10/hr, and Digital senior engineering examples around $123,700/yr. These are dated examples, not statewide H-E-B guarantees and not proof that another H-E-B, Central Market, pharmacy, warehouse, manufacturing, corporate, or Digital opening pays the same. Save the pay field, required availability, shift, employment type, location, role family, posting URL, and date viewed.
