Reflection: The following couple of days I familiarized myself more with the software including Microsoft Excel. Sarah gave me a small task those. I had to compare our percentages with that of the companies, to see where we stood and what we needed to do better. I plugged in the data from customer surveys and then organized them in all sorts of ways into Excel. I put it in a bar graph form, line graph, charts, tables, you name it. Then Sarah came in and picked which one she liked the best out of all of them. We then printed that out and put it on a news board in the break room for all the other employees to see. Everyone got to see my work which was cool!

Decisions at Harris Teeter are made in a branch format. We report to our managers who report to their managers and so on. So I get my little jobs from my direct manager but bigger tasks I would ultimately get from a couple levels up. It's a cooperative environment but to a certain extent. We usually have our own specific jobs to do and we do it, if we need help we'll ask but for the most part, we do the work by ourselves. In the summer the dress code is Khaki shorts and a blue Harris Teeter polo, while in the winter and fall months it's Khaki pants instead. I've seen the work ethic to be pretty impressive, however, you've always got the couple employees who don't work as hard but that's just going to happen. For the most part, the work ethic is pretty high.
