Brandie R.

I have worked for Harris Teeter for 16 years. I began my career with HT as a part time cashier in 2000. I also worked in floral, HBC, accounting, and as ACSM before joining the Customer Relations Team in 2009. The thing I love most about working for HT is the opportunities and benefits that we provide our employees. There are few companies who can say that the majority of their employees in high level roles started out as part time associates in their stores!

My favorite thing about my position as Assistant Manager of Customer Relations is that I am able to work with so many great people. We are here not only to support our customers but to support our stores and other departments within the corporate office and operation as well! There is such a team and family atmosphere. When I started out part time at 18 years old I never envisioned myself still being here; however now I cannot imagine being anywhere else. Harris Teeter helped me get through college and receive the training and development I need to succeed.

If you are looking for a career that offers wonderful benefits, room for advancement, and a chance to meet amazing people please join the HT Family!

When I am not working I love spending time outdoors. Camping, hiking, and kayaking are some of my favorite activities.  I love spending time with my husband, Alex, and my dogs, Daphne and Charlie. I also love cheering on my Clemson Tigers!

I am an Animal-lover, Compassionate, Quirky.

Chad J.

I have been working with Harris Teeter for 14 years. One of the many things I like most about Harris Teeter is the opportunity for advancement and the relationships that are built between the associates & myself. I enjoy working with, and encouraging them to reach their full potential, as an associate and as a person. Being a new Store manager, I love the challenge of learning as much as I can, so that I can become one of the best in the company. If I could give someone advice who is interested in joining our team, it would be to work harder than the next person, be good to people, and learn everything you can. The sky's the limit to how far you can go!

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outside, and staying physically active.  With both of my kid’s bubbly personalities, they keep me a kid at heart! 

I am Kind, Positive, Driven.

Tammi W.

I have worked with Harris Teeter for 29 years. I enjoy the family I have made while working for such a friendly associate based company. I truly enjoy helping customers and solving any issues they may have. Providing World Class Customer Service goes a long way and can make someone’s day! If I had to give advice to potential applicant, it would be to definitely be a people person, friendly, understanding, and willing to always go the extra mile to make a customer’s day.

When I am not working, I enjoy being on the water in my boat & spending quality time with my family & friends. Also, any day that involves shopping is a good day!

I am outgoing, intelligent, self-motivated.

I have been with Harris Teeter for almost 9 years. I am very passionate about our brand which includes our products and our people! I am proud that I can feel good about shopping where I work because of our high standards on quality, freshness, and customer service. I have felt empowered to take care of our customers and make decisions from day one, which is one of the many reasons I love this company. Harris Teeter is a company that is full of opportunity if you are willing to work hard, prove yourself, & be patient. Harris Teeter emphasizes taking ownership so you never feel like it is not your job, but truly feel that you are part of something bigger that directly impacts the company and our customers. My current position is enjoyable because I get the opportunity to genuinely engage with customers and show empathy day in and day out, and that is very rewarding! For those interested in joining the Harris Teeter team, I would say be open minded about grocery retail. Never in a million years did I think I would work for a grocery store, but this industry has given me the opportunity to make a great living while serving others.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. It is soon to be a party of 4, and there is nothing better than spending down time living in the moment and enjoying watching your children hit milestones.

I am Compassionate, Dedicated, Family Oriented.

I like knowing that my bright personality not only brightens up the customer’s day but also all the associates that work with me daily.

Charity T.

My name is Charity and I have worked for Harris Teeter since 2002. I started off as a part time cashier while attending Winthrop University. Once I graduated I was offered full time as a customer service clerk. I have been a store accountant, scanning coordinator, receiver, assistant customer service manager, and currently I am a customer service manager.

I really love the spontaneity of my job. You really never know what is going to happen from day to day and no 2 days are ever the same. I really enjoy getting to know my regular customers and being able to anticipate their needs. But most of all I love all the friendships I have made through working at various stores, and how we can rely on each other for any situation.

For anyone interested in Harris Teeter as just part time job, don't discredit making it a career choice. It's a great company to work for, and the possibilities are endless.

In my free time I enjoy taking my dogs to the park, going to the shooting range with my boyfriend, shopping and getting Mani/Pedi's with my BFF.

I am a Firecracker, Hard Working, Artistic.

Madi P.

I have worked for Harris Teeter for 5 years. Harris Teeter is a great company and knows that its strongest asset is its people. Whether you work in Customer Relations, Information Technology, or in the stores, you can see that every department truly value Service Excellence and we do everything with the customer in mind. I love working in the Digital space. It’s a new way to connect with our customers when they want to know what’s on sale this week or want to place a grocery order instead of going into the store that day. It’s constantly changing and evolving and it requires me to be very aware of what’s happening in the tech space. It also allows us to try out new concepts and react quickly based on customer feedback which is challenging and rewarding at the same time. Even if you don’t have a ton of experience in a specific field, it never hurts to apply and interview for a job where new skills are involved, it will only improve your set of skills! Stay curious, don’t rule anything out.

Outside of work I love to run, play soccer, hike, and travel to new places with my hubby. Any day that involves playing outside with our dog and getting local ice cream afterwards is a great day.

I am Motivated, Passionate, Creative.

Danna R.

I joined Harris Teeter in September 2011, as Communication Specialist and was promoted to Communication Manager in 2014. There are many things I love about working for Harris Teeter, but my three favorite things are:

1) The number of people who tell me Harris Teeter was their very first job;

2) The talented group of colleagues I am fortunate enough to learn from and work alongside!

3) That Harris Teeter is such a beloved brand; I’m proud to be a part of something that people claim as their own. Hearing people refer to their store as “my Harris Teeter” makes my day.

I always say I have the best job in the company! Working in Corporate Communication allows me to interact with every level of the organization in crafting a narrative to elevate Harris Teeter’s unique story and manage our brand’s beloved reputation. Whether it is through a press conference, media interview, a one-on-one interaction with a shopper or a PR campaign, the day-to-day work of public affairs is never the same. I am consistently faced with new challenges, giving me the opportunity to develop new skills and processes. I am always learning, growing and changing. A company’s brand is not static; it’s something that must be carefully defined, meticulously cultivated and enthusiastically celebrated, and I love elevating the Harris Teeter brand.

Because not much has changed inside grocery stores for the last 50 years, Grocery tends to be viewed as an antiquated industry. I don’t think people realize how progressive the industry actually is. The advancements made in the grocery space around online shopping, consumer data, hunger relief, waste diversion and sustainability is extremely impressive. I would encourage anyone interested in working in an established industry but also in a progressive space to learn more about the vast career opportunities available with Harris Teeter.

Outside of work, I love to spend time with my husband and our girls, Sophia & Elle. We like to grill out, take weekend trips to Charleston, and we spend our Saturdays in the Fall enjoying college football, even though we are a divided house: Clemson vs. South Carolina. … GO TIGERS!

Three words that best describe me are: Champagne, Shoes & Pink … in that order!

I like being a Co-Manager because I get to work throughout the entire store. I enjoy learning new things every day.

I have worked for Harris Teeter for 11 years. I started as a part time Cashier when I decided to go back to school as I did not like my career choice.

The best advice I can offer is to always be willing to learn new things, and embrace change as it comes-the strongest companies change with the times, and associates have to change along with them.

We have a great team that supports each other, and I’ve developed many lasting friendships with coworkers over the years. I’m a cake decorator, and it allows me to be creative while at work.
