Harris Teeter reviews

Management is one of the largest problems. They are extremely inconsistent with how things are run and what is expected of associates. Managers, especially on the front end, are also constantly switched around and swapped out between stores. This leads to many problems between management and employees. Hours are also another issue, one week you are scheduled 25 hours and the nest week only 9. The pay is also another large issue. Don't get me wrong, Harris Teeter starts employees out at more than most other stores. But they don't pay nearly enough when you advance in job positions. I went from being a cashier to customer service and all I received was an extra quarter and three times as many headaches. I also promoted from customer service to office assistant and didn't get anything but a title change. Its absurd that they will pay a new hire who comes from another company leaps and bounds more than someone who starts from the bottom and moves up. Great workers also undervalued, there isn't enough incentive to come to work, do a great job, and advance.

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Constant fear of corporate visits and audits keeps everyone on edge. Store management passes these on to everyone else. Threats of write-ups on a daily basis. So much so that good people lose their initiative. Do as I say and don't think on your own mentality. Corporate and upper management treat the stores as their personal pantries. They force you to carry products that only they buy and then come down on you when your waste is high. Have also seen several people lied to and made promises that never came true by corporate. Not many happy people in the stores. Changes need to be made.
