Pros

Harris Teeter is a great store. I can find things there that I can't find anywhere else. The weekly speicials are great and the sales in the meat dept is outstanding! the produce dept is amazing!

Cons

Unless one is a member of management they are not allowed to work more than 28 hrs/week. At $8.25/hr that doesn't add up to be a lot of take home pay. The position of cashier requires one to not only collect money for groceries, but it also requires us to unload the carts as well as bagging groceries,and retrieving carts from the parking lot. I don't object to any of those things, but I feel that better wages would give me a greater incentive. Cashiers should be making a minimum of $10.00/h because of the responsibility of handling money and ensuring accuracy and keeping the integrity of the cash drawer secure. Management is forever harping on giving great customer service, but they are only paying lip service to that notion. When I have to stop scanning groceries to start bagging on large orders becuase I don't have a bagger or when I go to another register to bag for another cashier and stop in the middle of it to return to my register for customer checkout, it leaves the customer for whom I was bagging to wonder "Is it something I said?"During training we are told that Harris Teeter customers are not to bag their own groceries. I have said it before and will again, I'm not going to stop them from doing it when I have a line at my register.

Pros

Because HT is expanding, there are opportunities for advancement. Nothing will be handed to you. You must show that you are competent by adhering to your schedule and asking lots of questions. Observing management is a good way to learn.

Cons

The schedule comes out on Sunday for the work week beginning on Wednesday. Your schedule is always subject to change. You have to start part-time which means no more than 28 hours per week and many workers get considerably fewer hours. If you work six or fewer hours per day you only get 1 break that is only 15 minutes, no lunch break.

Pros

-Very flexible with part timers schedules. -Two bonuses a year for ALL employees -Some benefits for part timers -401k -Depending on your department manager, can be pretty laid back. -Yearly "Raise" but it is very small.

Cons

-Very low pay, at least in my district. Start you off with low pay. -Getting a significant raise is near to impossible. Myself and a co-worker have been asking for a raise for months and nobody has even looked into it. -Very "Corporate" mood in most stores -Management seems arrogant and lazy. -Staff is always shorthanded, and hours are always limited.
