Pros

Opportunties to move up in management. Full time Benefits, paid personal and vacation time, 401k. Good deals on items.

Cons

They screen horribly who they employ , their method is hire for numbers. Therefore ; you have Lazy , negative , inefficient employees that could care less. Terrible pay , understaffed , over worked. When there does come along rare good workers,or phenomenal ones ; they take advantage of them. It's never enough or good enough its always more, more, everyday without proper compensation to make it worth anyone's while. Harris Teeter doesn't care about it's workers only money and looking good. Corporate is always shifting blame on its workers and in store managers. Their business sense is lacking, they give customers free items regularly. This contributes to profit loss, as well as all the food on a daily basis that gets disposed of. Their asset loss isn't effective either. The people from the warehouse stack pallets unsafely so they easily fall, because u have heavy stuff on top of light, or it's too high up. Numerous products come in damaged on a regular basis. They have a computer generated system called CAO for ordering that is flawed. You have items ordered you don't need because of this. Daytime managers stand around talking a lot, but are quick to delegate and aggravate everyone else on what they aren't doing. Theres alot of gossip and hostility. What is most inferoriating ; is the constant lying and fakeness of upper management , that creeps in stores.

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.
