Harris Teeter reviews

NO FULL DISCLOSURE AT THE INTERVIEW, OR DURING COMPUTER TRAINING. I was NEVER told that as a cashier/bagger I would be expected to perform janitorial duties in the mornings and during evening shifts. IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A CASHIER / BAGGER, YOU CAN EXPECT TO BE CLEANING TOILETS, SCRUBBING DOWN URINALS, DEALING WITH FEMALE-BIO-HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, EMPTYING EXTERIOR RECYCLE-BINS (DISGUSTING, FULL OF GARBAGE). You are provided with very inadequate safety precautions, e.g. very thin latex gloves only. All this as well as being expected to perform excellent customer service at checkout, carry-out to the customer's cars. DO NOT ANSWER YOUR PHONE ON YOUR DAYS OFF, they have a nasty habit of calling you in to work! Their "on-call" system is a scam. Because you have to call-in to "check" on your status (wether or not they will need you that day), legally they do not have to pay you for the on call time. So, your day is wasted, especially if you're on call for a PM shift. UNFAIR. ALL THE ABOVE, NOT TO MENTION A TOTAL LACK OF ANY "ATTABOYS" FOR A JOB WELL DONE, FOR MINIMUM WAGE! ! ! I REPEAT, ...MINIMUM WAGE!!

I have worked for 5 yrs at my harris teeter and sadly its management has done nothing but go down hill fast. then they wonder why moral is low. then they do their lovely little "verbal" counceling sessions to remind you that if your attitude doesnt change they will have no problems making sure your dismisal will not let you even earn unemployment. They tell us to learn our neighborhoods, but they dont give a wit about our input or advice to up sales. Nor do they care about the "working Family" when half the family is one of their own employees.
