Pros

They make amazing pizza. If you'd stay like an hour late they would give you a free lunch. It's a great high school job (which is what I had it for) but if you're older than 19 and/or you have bills to pay then do not work there. some of the customers I made a great connection with and really enjoyed my fellow cashiers. Other than that that's the only good thing about working for Harris teeter

Cons

I was treated like crap by all but 2 managers. I was trained into a management position but because our HR guy didn't like me they stopped my training and demoted me back to a cashier. I just went through a pregnancy while working with them and I'm telling you, any expecting mother DO NOT go work for them. I had to give them 3 doctors notes just for me to have a chair at my section because my manager would just throw it away. Then my medical leave was constantly being denied because I "didn't provide proof of a child" after I gave them a letter before I went in the hospital and right after I had my kid (which was a 3 day period). Then I get a release form to return back to work and they take weeks and never put me back on the schedule. So I've finally had enough and tell them I quit only to be told I have already been terminated. I received a letter in the mail stating I was finally approved for medical leave but "for my own medical condition" not for giving birth to a child which therefore didn't protect my job under FMLA. So I put 2 years of my life into that company for only $8 an hour so they can do me like this when I had a kid.
