Pros

Kroger pays well for retail pharmacy, perhaps a slight hair above the average. They have a lot of good **ideas** that could help progress the profession.

Cons

Long hours, no scheduled lunches or breaks, a never-ending list of new "Key Retailing Best Practices" that micromanage everything you do down to use the Tab key on the keyboard vs. the mouse, increasing responsibilities with decreased tech and pharmacist hours... Kroger also has a knack for promoting less than qualified individuals to higher ranks (everything seems political or popularity based; not performance based).

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
