I have been working at Harris Teeter full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Fairly good benefits, the pay is so so.You will do well if you want to work 7 days a week all the time,unless you are in supervision then you do not do anything, hardly work and yet suprisingly get promoted,getting to do outside chores for the director helps you as well(washing his car,mowing his yard.etc.)

Cons – Management cares absolutely nothing about you,except for what they can get out of you,if you cannot work then they send you home,if you get hurt on the job you are written up and treated like a criminal.

Advice to Senior Management – PLEASE LEAVE!!

I worked at Harris Teeter full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Pay is better than industry standards for most positions
A twice yearly bonus check is certainly nice to have

Cons – Corporate Management cares only about the bottom line at the expense of the employees.
Atmosphere is typically toxic as you have to fight constantly for hours and recognition
Expectations are typically excessive and incredibly unattainable
Store Management is of little assistance when dealing with employee dissatisfaction

Overall, this company has fostered an atmosphere of mistrust and disloyalty by constantly putting the needs of the employees to the bottom of the priority list. Hours are cut without any explanation, making it impossible to budget appropriately for everyday life. Policy and procedure is changed without any regard to employee safety. Considering how employees make or break the success of a company, it would seem that fact has been lost on the management of this company.

Advice to Senior Management – Remember that without your employees, your success both past and future is limited. These are the people who greet and serve the customers that come to your stores, which has a direct correlation to your future. Having happy and healthy employees lead to happy customers. This should really be one of your main focus points.

I have been working at Harris Teeter part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – job availability and location close to home

Cons – low pay and lack of permanent schedule

I have been working at Harris Teeter part-time for more than a year

Pros – Easy interview, enjoy having boy employees, nice starting salary, clean stores, bonus checks

Cons – Management sucks, management gets into drama, pick favorites, discriminate against girls, on call sucks, hours are either way too much or not barely enough, give all the hours to the favorites, write you up if you call out. Wrote me up because I missed a shift because family was in the hospital.

Advice to Senior Management – Get your managers in line before they ruin your business. Don't write people up for calling out.

I worked at Harris Teeter part-time for less than a year

Pros – My co-workers were friendly and I enjoyed working with them.

Cons – Management is very lazy
Awful hours
Minimal pay
Lots of physical labor and doing work out of job description (especially if you're a male)
What grocery store does on calls?

Advice to Senior Management – Please ensure that the local management working at stores is objective and being fair to all employees. Pay cashiers a little more, maybe $9.00 an hour? Cut the on call thing, what grocery store does on calls?

I have been working at Harris Teeter full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – The dept head bonus is nice but they cut labor for 2 weeks leading up to it, so its really not a bonus at all.

Cons – Teeter is a nice store but a horrible company. They are only concerned with not getting sued and they drive their employees with fear. I would never work for them again.

Advice to Senior Management – too many audits and loose the slip resistant shoes. I have never been in a store before where half the staff limps!!!

I have been working at Harris Teeter full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Pretty good benefits, starts out paying more than min wage.

Cons – Awful management, treats employees like crap. Always cutting hours

Advice to Senior Management – Cut pay of people in corporate and give more labor to stores! It's the workers making all of the money for company anyway

I have been working at Harris Teeter part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Harris Teeter is a nice store with good customer service.
decent pay.
two bonus checks per year.
flexible hours.
full-time benefits

Cons – HORRIBLE student leave program - students are able to take a 16 week leave for a 52 week year. After that, I had come home every other weekend just to keep my job for the summer and for holidays. I also couldn't get a transfer to a store closer to my school because they already had "too many" transfers from students on educational leave. However, for some reason, my checks kept getting sent to the store I tried to get a transfer for. No one ever told me that this was going to happen so for a while I went without getting paid until management finally "figured out" where they were. Then, the first week I was home for the summer, management "forgot" to put me on the schedule, therefore I was at risk of being terminated. To top it all off, approximately two weeks later, we find out that six of our stores will be closing IN TWO WEEKS, with one of them being the one I work at! We had no idea and had less than a week to let corporate know if we were going to transfer to a different harris teeter or quit. Needless to say, corporate obviously did not consider their employees when they made this drastic and sudden decision.
     Also, I have worked there for three years and have only gotten one 15 cent raise. I had to train my bosses before they got promoted. I have watched management stand around and chit-chat while we were so busy that we barely had time to breathe. Oh, and the only time we ever had baggers was at Christmas and Thanksgiving. Cashiers were expected to do everything - get carts from outside, clean bathrooms, do store sweeps, bag, and ring up groceries.

Advice to Senior Management – Take some time to consider your employees! They work hard and don't get promoted or get any raises whatsoever. We never get a "good job" or "well done" even if we come in to work hours early and then continue to work and clean the store over an hour after its closed. Just a piece of advice: listen to what employees have to say because more often than not, your policies look better on paper than they actually are in reality.
