Pros

Harris teeters offers great health care and savings plans for full-time workers. Hard working employees who start out in the meat department have the opportunity to move up very quickly through Harris Teeters' Meatcutter Apprenticeship program. The pay for becoming a meat cutter can be more than double the starting pay of a Meat Clerk. The Meat Cutter position is typically aqcuired after 8 months of apprenticeship and a final meat cutting test must be passed after the apprenticeship program. Failure to pass the meat cutting test could result in a decrease in pay. Passing the test will lead to a job title change and pay increase upon promotion. All employees also recieve 2 bonus checks each year of employment based on hours worked, pay rate, and how much the company as a whole makes that year.

Cons

So long as you work hard, there really isn't much downside. It is what you make of it. If you are a hard worker and offer great customer service, then you will be given the opportunity to move up to a higher position. If you are lazy.. then you will probably stay a meat clerk.

Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

• They talk to you like you're stupid. • Their tone becomes more aggressive when you don't brown nose them. • They don't lead by example nor implement any teamwork. • They make daily operations more difficult to complete as a flex. • They disguise their racism towards employees as company policy institution. • They become spiteful when you don't fall in line and take out their frustration on your workers while store management look the other way. • They talk negatively about you in group chats and emails. • They pretend to be inefficient when they don't want to help. • They harass & imprison your workers as soon as you clock out (by eyewitness accounts). • Management will sabotage your evaluation, hire special needs people for critical thinking jobs, & accept underperforming associates from other stores just to save money. • Higher-ups will deny qualified applicants employment while conspiring to hire the children of old classmates who purposefully show up to work late. • Store management will physically assault minors who steal on the premises and act openly racists to shoppers of color.
