Pros

The pros for working at Harris Teeter was that you got a 10% discount and you get a ton of hours because the store is usually busy-- at least where I worked. Another pro was that since I worked as a Barista, I didn't have to deal with all the bagging and getting carts whereas Harris Teeter employees had to. You get paid above minimum wage which is was pretty awesome.

Cons

The managers are terrible... and I am not exaggerating. The managers pretty much expect you to be available all the time and never have any life outside of Harris Teeter. Also, customer service is the number one important thing at Harris Teeter, so even if a customer is just down-right rude to you to have to be super nice to them-- and expect management to take their side. Also, you had to take these ridiculous monthly tests and check in every month to hear about how to be nice to customers.

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.
