Harris Teeter reviews

--Embarrassingly low pay. Despite being a renowned grocer on the echelon of Wegman's, Publix, and Market Basket, Harris Teeter's pay rate is significantly lower, on par with chains like Food Lion. I once applied to transfer to another store that would allow me to work 3rd Shift, and despite the hiring manager and I having an instant rapport, he balked at paying my "high" rate of 9.50/hr, saying that most of his full-time 3rd shift stockers were in the range of about 8.00/hr. How can anyone make a living on that kind of salary? Especially after the deduction of medical benefits and taxes? Embarrassing. --Shamelessly anti-union, although that's to be expected of a company headquartered in the most union-unfriendly state in the union. It's made worse however by the fact it has a reputation of offering "generous" benefits to its employees. --Blatant cronyism in terms of store management. Terrible store and department managers are either protected (if they are in with the right people) or shuffled around until they are frustrated enough to quit. In meanwhile, the employees under them are made to suffer under these petty despots. Being a good-looking blonde woman is a fast-track to upper management even if you have the worst personality or have absolutely no idea how to do your job. --Store management will never, ever take the side of an employee against a manager unless you somehow have immaculate evidence that even Batman couldn't find a flaw with. --Many store managers are far more absorbed in their own bonuses and advancement in the company than anything else at all dealing with their own store, company, or employees.
