Harris Teeter reviews

Upper Mgmt. knows how to use the system to their own advantage. It's only "wrong" if it affects them personally. All the way up to Dist. level morals and basic decency are seriously lacking. Management known to "block" people from transferring or moving up if it's to their advantage. Also too much work for too few hours, little training, and inconsistant rules and discipline.

I was hired to be a part time home shopper and ended up being mostly a cashier. They do not tell you this when you apply to be a home shopper and are hired for that either. As a cashier you are on your feet doing very physical work (who knew being a cashier was so physical?)..having to beg for a break. They schedule you 15 minutes shy of having to give you a half hour lunch break which is basically skirting the law. Home shopping was fine and actually fun to do, but they kept making excuses for not putting me where I was hired to be (mostly because they cannot keep cashiers and were desperate-they will tell you after the fact that cashiering is part of the front end of which home shopping is part of). They took 3 weeks to train me for home shopping...something that could have been accomplished in 3 days. You are timed as a home shopper which can be problematical if you have a lousy produce department or the hand held computers you use continually break down as happens to be the case in this store. The workers and management in the store I worked in were unfriendly and unhappy; no comradery, no teamwork. The management did not seem to care about the workers or anything else. The pay is lousy, and even if they do have benefits, if you cannot afford them ...what good are they? The turnover in this store was unbelievable and I am not surprised. Without a doubt the worst working experience I have ever had in my career. I quit after 6 weeks.
