Pros

The customers are very friendly.

Cons

As the only black woman in management in my department I was paid less than any other manager, btw I had at least over 5 plus years of experience more then. I was never treated fairly, had an asthma attack on the way there, went to the hospital they told me those days were not excused even with a doctors note. I’ve never felt more oppressed in my life as I did at Harris teeter battleground specifically. The manager has a Napoleons complex and the current assistant deli manager and he take at least 4-6 smoke breaks a day but please don’t be a minute late from your break.

Pros

1). You gain basic knowledge on how to handle customers and iron-out your skills as an employee. 2). Gain some knowledge on how to use the Slicer, (Deli) how to cut fish correctly by taking the skin off, making a pizza from scratch and of course proper customer care for their wants and needs. .... That's it.

Cons

1). Management for a big Corporation is as predictable as it gets, treating you like a wage slave- expecting YOU to cover shifts for other people or mess-ups THEY do. As a side-note, they DO NOT post any wages on any advertisements(I mean look on Indeed.com, it's honestly funny). On top of that, as you're being interviewed, nothing is said about your wages- they just expect you to guess/not give a crap about YOUR WAGES. 2). Highly manipulative Management Team, very uppity and bubbly but in reality they want nothing to do with you and expect you to go above and beyond for nothing in return. 3). This goes for any of the roles, but especially for Deli workers and Meat Clerks; You don't get 'taught' anything, they show you the bare bone-basics of where everything is, then send you on their marry way. You're then expected to learn everything there-after. 4). As an Employee, an Associate - Management EXPECTS you to do petty tasks without and reassurance that you're doing good work. They just kind of want you to do needless tasks to cover their own butts. If you have question these tasks or ask them why your the one to do said petty tasks, you'll either be shamed or you'll be one foot closer out the door. They give you these responses typically, on the line of, "You have a job, do IT" or "Because it's your job" - kind of attitude. 4). This ONLY applies to Meat Clerk and ""being risen"" up to be given the opportunity to use the Slicer for the Meat Department. But THEY WILL try to manipulate your current drama-infested situation into a position that is A) Worse or B) Completely screw you with a contract that FORCES you to stay there for a guaranteed 2 years. Unless you want to cough out $10,000. 5). Your Management Team will be constantly over your shoulders on Mystery Shops, expecting perfect 100% every single time. So help you god, if you mess-up one Mystery Shop, they'll be one your case about it instantly OR they will use that AGAINST you for any further raises. Possibly both depending on your Manager.

Going downhill.

Pros

Profit sharing and bonus incentives are the only thing keeping turnover from capsizing what was once one of the most profitable chains in southeast grocer.

Cons

New acquisition of Albertsons has lead our parent company conglomerate, Kroger, to step on our necks. Penny pinching, canceling needed remodels, equipment repairs and preventing us from paying associates a living wage-- all under the guise of maximizing profit at store level. Salaried management teams are seeing the writing on the wall and I cannot personally count the number of store level and corporate level management that has left in the past year, but it is probably hovering around 100. These are tenured bodies we're losing in key positions like distribution and category management. The next five years will prove to be interesting for Harris Teeter as the current trend will leave these stores without any staff before long.
