Pros

Good pay. Bonus checks and other benefits are robust. Their overall mission statement and original intention of the company is positive, noble, and is very achievable if staffed properly.

Cons

In recent years, the company lost its way in maintaining a comforting, inviting, and hospitable environment that they project. With the hours that managers are given to disperse to such little staff makes what Harris Teeter projects unachievable. I will admit that they do stick by their claim of promoting from within. However those in upper management now were in the trenches prior to the staff being chocked to exfoliation. Therefore, the separation between management and staff is unique in not realizing what is obtainable is no longer humanly realistic.

Pros

Fast paced environment; good for social personalities; never a dull moment; average day is filling multiple roles so boredom is not something to worry about. For part time employees, extra hours are ALWAYS available due to the high number of call-outs/no-shows.

Cons

It's retail (grocery) - the customer is the boss, the owner, the manager, the rule enforcer. Industry turnover is 40%. Harris Teeter turnover is closer to 60%. Attendance and punctuality are taught as important but never enforced to to risk of losing more employees. Recruiting is terrible as best. This lack of productive recruiting results in the prolonged need to keep you in your current position/role even though you may clearly better the company by being in a more advance role.
