      Pros

      Certain department managers tend to be lenient and understanding.

      Cons

      Harris Teeter, at a corporate level, takes advantage of their workers. They tend to put multiple responsibilities, outside of your pay grade, without compensation.

      Good in-between job for students

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some departments have more freedom than others. There’s no service counter in dairy frozen—you just throw freight and work on presenting your department in the best way possible, so no need to worry about someone complaining that you sliced their ham too thin. If you have a good team, it can be pretty chill. I used to get my groove on dancing and singing in the cooler while I stocked the milk. As long as you have one ear free and keep it discreet, go for it. It’s not a job that requires a lot of brain power: stock shelves, front department(front as you go), receive truck, repeat. HT is also pretty flexible with students. I used to work full-time hours during summer and winter breaks because they always need help. Hard work and being a team player pays off. Profit sharing check twice a year is also nice. Part time employees get benefits after one year of employment, I think. I met some really nice customers as well.

      Cons

      Oh boy, well this is retail so… customers can be annoying and rude. The pay sucks unless you go into management or apply for the meat cutter apprenticeship. Lots of people who work there don’t give a flying fish about being a team player or fixing general operations to help the store run smoother. High turnover rate. Managers get transferred to other stores often(usually every 6 months to a year and a half), so by the time you build a reputation with a manager, they get transferred. Try to maintain a positive connection with cool managers. They can often help you transfer to another store or pick up hours. Oh, and the cooler typically runs around 40 degrees, while the freezer is 0, so make sure you bring a warm jacket, hat, and warm gloves if you have Raynaud’s like me. Here’s a tip: get some vinyl disposable gloves from the deli and put those on before your work gloves—helps keep your hands warm.

      Stated company principles do not match actual principles

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Joy in helping shoppers find what they need, and assisting in acquiring healthy food alternatives. - Staying active throughout the day - Consistent schedule

      Cons

      - Lack of consistent breaks - Expected to work longer hours to meet customer demand, without overtime pay - Not enough employees to meet daily customer demands - Insufficient pay to meet cost of living, inflation, or ability to contribute to health care costs - Takes 1 year to accumulate 40 hours of PTO! Any time off prior to 1 year is unpaid, including sick time - The company is an “ Energy Vampire!” They suck time and energy out of their employees with nothing to give in return. STAY AWAY AND FIND EMPLOYERS THAT ARE SINCERE IN DEVELOPING SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR EMPLOYEES THAT ENHANCE THE BENEFITS OF THE ORGANIZATION AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE THAT SERVE IT!
