Maybe better than some grocery stores, but not even close to the best store I've worked at - Cashier Harris Teeter Employee Review

Pros

Their stores are nice and clean. The other employees also seemed very nice, as did some managers (not all). Their 4% retirement fund matching is better than many chains offer.

Cons

They did not pay very well compared to other grocery stores. I was offered a dollar over minimum wage (less than I had been making at a competitor) and they needed store manager approval to pay me that much. That was more my issue than the pay itself, that such a minimal amount needed higher approval seemed ridiculous. Their training materials seemed very heavy on associate dishonesty and the fact that their cameras are always watching. I did not get the impression they trusted their employees at all. Also, cashiers were expected to be on call one day a week, meaning that you must call in at a certain time and they will then tell you if you have to work that day. I'd never heard of this in a retail environment, especially for a position like cashier.

Pros

Decent people, make connections, pay, and hours are just okay.

Cons

Management sucks. If you fall victim to bullying, nobody cares/does anything. Working there from 16 to now (barely anymore), it was hard to be happy at all about going in when working with a specific manager who constantly nitpicked and talked behind your back.
