Pros

I've worked for HT from 2015 to 2016, and it was the best experience I've had working in the retail grocery industry. I've worked for other retail grocery chains which were just alright, but not on the same level of 5 stars that I give HT. One company I do suggest never to work for in grocery chain industry which is down south and that is the Albertson/Tom Thumb stores -their entire management and corporate level employees are abusive, insulting, negligent, harassing, and the list goes on. This happened after Albertson bought Tom Thumb and now they are tearing down the good reputation that Tom Thumb use to have. But back to HT, all stores are not created equal and my experience with HT was always pleasant. I worked alongside the best store manager, the assistant could have used some human relations training. I was able to exercise my skills and experience and was immediately promoted in less than 30 days. HT give the best customer service to its consumers; and working non-stop during peak shopping days and hours are expected. I like working when it is busy because it makes the time go fast and you are not bored. If there is no business, it is hard to give hours to employees. I left HT because my family relocated to the south. I really wish HT was here because I would have transferred instead of having to resign. The south could use a lot of training in how to provide incredible customer service to its consumers. HT is way ahead of the game and surely can show these other retailers how important the consumer is to the operation and life of its business.

Cons

Again, all stores and its staff (team) are not created equal; however, there should be a cap put on those customers that come in the store and abuse the return and coupon policy. This not only set bad examples and hurt those who follow the rules. But it also hurts the sales of the store and the company as whole including the cost of benefits, etc. to the employee.

Pros

The company has great benefits, and has wonderful people working in the company as well. Many locations are kind and will work with you on getting the best employment experience possible.

Cons

Not all of the locations share in the benefits. I have worked in two so far, and have felt that the two have very different environments. One was very nice, and friendly, and it made me love coming in to work. My current location seems much more hostile and demanding. The managers dislike one another, which of course causes problems. I have worked two jobs in this location, day-runner, and grocery stock clerk. I had heard that I was being under-paid as a day-runner, and when I switched to stock clerk, I knew I was being paid less than I should be, as my pay did not change despite my higher paying position. I plan to address the management about this, I've been working as a grocery stock clerk for about two weeks. If that doesn't go well, I will unfortunately have to leave the company.
