Pros

I love working for Harris Teeter. The associates care a lot and the customers are nice. Many associates and ALL managers greet associates by name. This company cares. I have learned so much about customer service and have learned how to be more social and conversational. I know a lot about food prices now and can get better deals than my mom when I grocery shop. I genuinely love working here and feel that it has taught me a lot.

Cons

Prepare for long lines, hours upon hours of standing up, and hours of bending into carts. I am young and in high school and after a shift my back hurts. We do not have conveyor belts, so we reach far into the baskets hundreds of times each shifts, and as a result I have had back pain that never was there before. It is not for everyone.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
