Harris Teeter Reviews

Pros

Weekly pay was nice & cool

Cons

No time off hrs or anything

Pros

Money was good, plenty of overtime sometimes. Bonus checks every six months, write your own schedule.

Cons

Micro management. Co managers suppose to help you, most of the time they don’t even try to help. Advancement is none existing, unlikes you know someone at the top.

Pros

90% of the customers greatful to surve. Some managers were awesome. Safety is key which I loved

Cons

Oh where to begin? ~Pay is crap. They don't care about how much they use you in different departments. Pay was low and sometimes lower than others when you've been there longer. ~Tried going into management but got kicked out of the system even though I had great remarks and several managers asking me to apply to be one. ~ In a months span 4 different people in my department called out, but when I did because I was puking I got denied and was told to cook people food (thankfully it was only food poisoning). ~Got a part time seasonal job asked my department manager if I could call out for one night only since it was going to be a long day at the other job didn't think I could make it in since i was scheduled for both the same day. She said that was fine she over staffed that day anyways admitted she accidentally put me on for that night. Next day to work was called in early to help with inventory in another department and the store manager said "IF she comes in". I laughed since I gave them 3 years of my loyalty. Quit that night which my seasonal job became my full time which lead me to where I am now.

Pros

Harris Teeter is a great place to work if you are starting in the workforce and it is a company that allows growth and multiple positions for improvement. The company has many departments to choose from and once you work there, it is pretty easy to move around.

Cons

You will be working with people who probably don't care too much about their job so you'll most likely have to deal with lazy or stubborn co-workers which can be a bit difficult every now and again.

Pros

Competitive pay Good benefits Employee Perks Can offer good incentives for promotion

Cons

No bonus reward for assistants compared to full managers More responsibility than normal department manager even as assistant but less pay and bonuses. Very bureaucratic company Will run on a skeleton crew with little help from store management

Pros

You have a job to support yourself and your family

Cons

Unrealistic goals set up by management. I worked for the company for more than 13 years and I was grateful for the opportunity. I had many chances to meet great store and district managers who showed me how to lead and manage. However, if you had a boss who did not know how to lead ,was lazy and demanding, as in my case in the last 5 years I was there, find a way to transfer to a different district or store. My DM would never be at the store or pharmacy whenever we had inventory which is unheard of. I worked for Giant for 5 years and I had a different DM before her, they were ALWAYS present when we had any big or important events. I am not here to be ungrateful to those who helped me to be where I am today. I do miss my days working at HT. I was a manager from the start and worked all the way until my Mom passed away then decided to step down. At the time I asked for extra time off but was not approved so I decided to step down and eventually let go a few months after stepping down . I am in a better place now and I am doing well. I just hope my colleagues will not have to experience what I experienced and I hope when you decide to work for the company , luck will be on your side in terms of having a good DM who also knows how to lead.

Pros

accommodating, flexibility, recognition ,fair wages, and bonuses

Cons

short staffed, leadership , customer serviceman be better

Pros

flexible schedule, ability to take on more responsibility

Cons

unfair pay scale, doesnt compensate employees based on performance, but based on favoritism. unapproachable and unknowledgeable mangement

Pros

The job is very very easy and the pay was not bad. regular raises. doesn't take a lot of brain power

Cons

some things the store takes seriously like theft and alcohol sales are unfairly blamed on young cashiers who are literal teenagers not well trained on these issues.

Pros

When you work at a store when everyone is working towards the same goal, Harris Teeter is a great place to work. Friendly customers and fellow associates, semi flexible hours for part time associates, and an overall nice environment.

Cons

The pay is abysmal for associates that have been with the company for years. They bring in external employees at much higher rates than the people who have been there for a long time. I’ve been with the company since 2016, and graduated from the DLT program last April and make more than 3 dollars less than a DLT who just joined the company. Not to mention in my time at my current store I’ve been acting CSM, and by myself with no help during every major holiday.
